Mesh network 51 series

[pavan]

I started working on mesh 51 series ,

Points for which we need inputs

1. Data packet size for transmission
2. Process for association and address assigning during commissioning(preadressing)
3. OTA possibilities and process of doing the same
4. Can we have PCB antenna and external antenna options??? with the same pinout
5. Security of the data being transmitted(encryption)
6. Any testing done on the stability of the mesh network? and what is the maximum number of devices connected and tested so far in a single mesh?

Hi Pavan,

Could you specify which mesh protocol you are using ? Is it OpenMesh ?

4.Please follow what we have on our nRF51 DK. There is a connector for external antenna besides the PCB antenna.

we yet to start wok i think its proprietary mesh ..please suggest

I don't undestand, what do you mean ? We currently have 2 solutions, OpenMesh and Bluetooth mesh. In the other case you already in the discussion with Bjørn about that.

You can wait for Bluetooth Mesh, which may come very very soon. Or can start your development with OpenMesh and start reading about it. Do a search for nRF OpenMesh you can find it.

Note that we no longer developing OpenMesh, it's deprecated. It's stay at experimental state, and there is no test data. There is no provisioning, no security on it. You need to implement yourself.
