A friend of mine asked me to help with thinking about a solution to create a RF communication between 8 robots and 1 access point. Not a lot of traffic, just to signal that the robot is (almost) at the end of his track and get some control information. once per few minutes. This is not very complicated and I was thinking about the nRF24L01+ chip with external antenna. We need a range of approx. 100 - 150 meter. LOS
the complex part is the following: it is used in a field with solar panels, and we need about 4000 robots and 4000/8 = 500 access points.
So each access point with 8 robots is actually a small network. But because all of these networks are in the same field (not all of them are discoverable) I need to have multiple network ID's and unique ID's for each RF tranceiver, right?
Is this feasible with this amount of tranceivers?
Best regards,
Jasper
