Is there a mesh gateway project in mesh SDK?

Question

I got the BLE mesh SDK from: http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF5-SDK-for-Mesh/(language)/eng-GB 
 I want to develop a mesh gateway to connect the internet. Is there a example gateway project for mesh? 
 Thanks.

While a specific gateway example is missing there are some building blocks you should consider. The main thing to check out is the 'serial' example, which lets the nRF51/nRF52 part act as a network processor in a larger system. If you need internet connection you also need Ethernet or WiFi, which Nordic does not provide. That is one of the main reasons why the 'serial' example is included. 
 'interactive_pyaci' (in 'scripts') is a Python program that lets you interactively control the 'serial' example. So you can program a DK with the 'serial' example and use the PC as gateway. 
 Since the gateway code is developed off the Nordic part it does not make a lot of sense to include a solution. Neither has it been a blocker for companies using Nordic's Bluetooth mesh. See this press release for an example: www.nordicsemi.com/.../Nordic-powered-Bluetooth-low-energy-development-platform-simplifies-design-of-mesh-wireless-lighting-control-solutions-for-OEMs
