Mesh network using BLE beacon

[surec_285131]

Sir, I procured solar powered beacon and working on it. I got range limitation. I am connecting all these beacon to Toradex Arm board. I need to know how the Proc modules can be connected in MESH network to exdend the working range.

Hi,

   

You can add external power amplifier to the chips, or you may use our extended range modules as well.

   

For adding external PA, please refer:

You can find our extended range modules here:

Hi,

   

Yes, the PRoC BLE is compliant of the Mesh Network.

   

There is a project with proprietary mesh network using BLE that you can find here:

   

https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/PSoC-4-BLE/tree/master/100_Projects_in_100_Days/Project052...

   

Apart from this, the BLE SIG is working on a mesh protocol that is expected to be released in this year. Cypress will release a solution based on this mesh network at the same time.
