number of nodes our hardware can support -Zigbee and BLE

[Belenie]

Hello,

What are the maximum number of node our nrf52832 and 52840 can support for 

Zigbee?

BLE?

Thread - 1000?

Would this number be dependent on the memory size?

Thank you,

Belenie

Hi Belenie, 

 

Mesh technologies support large number of nodes. Thread protocol support up to 511 node per router, Zibee support up to 65536, when BLE mesh support up to 32767. It's the theoretical number.  The actual effective number are much lower than that, depends on you configure the network, how crowded the environment is etc. 

Each node doesn't have to keep information about all the other , so it's not the limit of the memory.
