We are planning to implement "Mesh technology" using the ESP32-C6 for street light mesh communication, and we want to ensure that the implementation will work effectively.
Here are the minimal functional requirements of our system:
The system will be powered by an AC supply running 24 hours a day.
Each node will be placed 50 meters apart on streetlights arranged in a straight line, with the final (100th) node being 5 kilometers from the gateway.
The nodes will be static and will not move.
Data frames will be a maximum of 50 bytes.
Each node will send data to the next 5 nodes when triggered.
Each node will send a heartbeat data packet to the gateway every 15 minutes.
The gateway must be able to send configuration downlinks to any node at any time.
Here are my queries:
1) Which Mesh technology we should use : Zigbee/ESP-MDF/ESP-Mesh-Lite/PainlessMesh/ESP-NOW/Openthread?
2) What is the maximum number of hops possible with each technology : Zigbee/ESP-MDF/ESP-Mesh-Lite/PainlessMesh/ESP-NOW/Openthread?
