CC2640: Schedule for bluetooth mesh support in SDK

Part Number: CC2640

Team,

I know our statement regarding Bluetooth mesh support (see below) and the approach using two concurrent stacks for mesh functionality.

Is there any statement as to when we plan to support Bluetooth mesh as mentioned in the statement below and which devices might be supported?

Thanks!

Q: Do you support Bluetooth Mesh Networks?

In July 2017 Bluetooth SIG released the first mesh network specification for low energy devices. This implementation uses a "flooding" approach to relay payloads of data (messages) across the mesh network. It is important to note that the mesh specification is external to the Bluetooth core specification and not part of the Bluetooth 5 or any previous Bluetooth 4 specification. More details on Bluetooth mesh can be found on the SIG website: bluetooth.com/mesh. TI intends to support mesh networking in a future SDK offering.

    Hi Franziskus,

    As of now there is no update to the statement. BLE Mesh in its current version has some drawbacks, for example on current consumption, so our general advice is to consider using a better mesh technology such as Thread and Zigbee.
