nRF52840 Thread Stack Data Throughput

[JustinH]

I have an application that will have up to 20 devices communicating with a gateway.  Each device will need to send around 2MB of data every 5 minutes. We would like to use Thread for this for several reasons.  My question is has anyone has done any throughput tests on a Thread network to verify if it can handle this data throughput? 

The devices will not be time synchronized, so they won't all be hitting the gateway at the same time.  I also expect that most deployments will have the devices close enough to the gateway to communicate directly rather than have to hop through nodes.  So more of a star network or extended star than a mesh.

I have found studies of large numbers of nodes with small data payloads, but no studies with relatively few nodes with large data payloads.

Hello Edvin,

This is not the answer I was hoping for, but it is the answer I expected.  Unfortunately none of the main wireless protocols on the market do what we really need.  We need the self-healing routing, commissioning, and back-up boarder router capabilities of Thread with the data throughput normally associated with Wi-Fi.  Time to get creative.
