support on nRF52833 zigbee mesh network

[Nikunj]

Hello Nordic Community,

I want to make a project on nRF52833 dk for that I  have following questions,

1. Does nRF52833 supports zigbee mesh network?

2. If yes then what is range between two nodes? 

3. Does nRF52833 supports Over The Air firmware as well as application update?

4. What maximum number of nodes I can connect with  zigbee network? 

Thanks and Regards,

Nikunj

Hi Nikunj, 

1. Yes. 

2. There is no easy number for the range, it depends on the environment. But the link budget is |-100dBm| (RX sensitivity) + 8dBm (TX power) = 108 dBm on nRF52840 and nRF52833. 

3. Yes. What is the difference between "Over the Air firmware" and "application update" ? 

4. 32768 on Bluetooth mesh, 65528 on Zigbee, and 32 (router) x 511 (end node) on Thread.

Hello Hung Bui,

Thanks for reply,

I just want to ask one more thing that  Does nRF52833 supports sub-1GHz?

No the nRF52833 doesn't support sub-1GHz.  All of Nordic's nRF51, nRF52 and nRF53 series support 2.4.GHz.
