Looking for guidance on application scenario (scalability/1000 nodes, distribution of individual data to each node in shortest time)

Hello, 

Kindly asking for some guidance... We're working on a solution that requires us to distribute unique data sets (i.e., each nodes gets a different data block, approx. 50 bytes each) to about 1000 nodes in the shortest time possible, with guaranteed delivery. The nodes are all within reach of each other. 

What would be the best architecture for this? We have implemented it with a Raspberry Pi gateway + nRF52 custom HW nodes based on Nordic UART Service. This works fine for a small number of nodes - but we're concerned about scalability. 

What would be better approaches to maximise the success rate of data delivery, and/or minimize total time? Absolute time isn't that critical as long as it's "reasonable", say a few minutes.

We thought about Mesh, but given that the chunks of data distributed are all different, i don't think Mesh will provide much benefit. Is that assumption correct? We'd be happy to use multiple centrals if required. 

Thanks much in advance for any hints!

Regards,

gj
