 our installed base of sensors transmit their data in periodic BLE 4.0 beacons. I would like to develop a relay board that receives these beacons, and then retransmits them over a Bluetooth mesh network towards a gateway.

&lt;p&gt;That is correct, a mesh device cannot receive packet from a &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; BLE beacon. I suggest you read more about the Mesh concept and Architecture here:&lt;/p&gt;
