WiFi Mesh using ESP
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:37 am
Hello There,
I am developing a solution to build wifi mesh and looking at ESP chipset for building wifi mesh.
My requirement is,
1. one gateway node which will have GSM/GPRS connectivity and will connect with root node of wifi mesh
2. I will use esp modules to form mesh network and these mesh nodes should work as accesspoint for end devices (ie. mobile) and allow internet access to the end devices.
3. Along with ESP chipset on mesh node, I have a controller connected to various sensors. Sensor data needs to be sent to cloud server. ESP module should provide UART interface so that controller can send the sensor data to cloud server (since it already have internet connectivity being in wifi mesh)
Any suggestion for specific ESP chipset? can I achieve my requirements using ESP8266?
Thanks in advance!
