In my application environment I need that any of the Relay Nodes in the MESH to also been-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 11 Dec 2017 13:35:50 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/111464?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Dec 2017 13:35:50 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7869c8d8-6d11-4af1-ac86-ce1ed835deafketil<p>Hi,</p> <p>It is possible for a node to support Bluetooth Mesh and Bluetooth GAP/GATT concurrently with our nRF5 SDK for Mesh. Please have a look at <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/blogs/1147/introducing-nrf5-sdk-for-mesh/">this blog post</a> for more information.</p> <p>Ketil</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/111463?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 09 Dec 2017 14:05:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e7db4992-bcbb-4c30-9616-54ffed82f12cMatt<p>Don&#39;t imagine, try it out yourself :) Start with 10 nodes (1 DK and the other can be cheap breakout boards) and scale up progressively. The standard BLE mesh stack runs &quot;alongside&quot; the BLE stack so you can add your own application to interface with the mesh stuff.</p> <p>Do watch out for the power consumption of the relay nodes though, as the radio is almost always &quot;on&quot; to listen and relay the mesh packets. Go through the mesh SDK document and code samples to learn more.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
