Tool/software:
Hello,
I'm working on a wireless sensor network project where:
- We have many transmitter nodes that read ambient temperature every 15 minutes and broadcast the data.
- Repeater nodes relay this data toward a central gateway or rebroadcast using a mesh topology.
My key goals are:
- Avoid RF collisions
- Achieve at least 99% reliable data delivery
- Keep the system simple to install (minimal configuration)
Could you please help with:
1. Wireless technology recommendations – Should I use Sub-1 GHz FSK, LoRa (with TI-compatible stacks)
2. Firmware or library support – Are there any mesh/flooding examples or collision-handling protocols (e.g., TDMA, CSMA) supported by TI?
3. Hardware suggestions – Which TI evaluation boards and antennas are suited for such a mesh network?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Best regards,
Amar
