 1. Overview

1. Overview
With the development of the Internet of Things, the need for smarter and easy-to-use
network for multiple devices is rapidly expanding. Traditional scenario of wireless
networking consists of a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint star topology. All client nodes
must be connected to the hub (router) in order to communicate with each other, which
leads to the following problems:
• Limited network capacity: the hub (router) can be directly connected to 10 devices at
most.
• Limited network coverage: all terminal nodes must be located within the Wi-Fi
coverage of the central node, making the networking scenario inappropriate for large
venues or places with multiple layers.
To meet the growing needs for wireless networking for the Internet of Things, Espressif
introduces the ESP Mesh wireless networking technology. Different from traditional wireless
networking, ESP-MESH nodes can dynamically talk to each other, and self-organize into a
tree network to share network connection across a large area.
ESP32-MeshKit-Lights are smart lights based on ESP Mesh, with which developers can
get familiar with the features of ESP Mesh and do further development.

5. Product Features
5.1. ESP-Mesh
• Self-organizing: support for simultaneous network configuration and node networking;

• Self-expanding: once allowed, new client devices are automatically guided to connect to
the best available AP;
• Self-managing: no routers required for the normal operation of a mesh device since each
mesh device serves as an AP and server at the same time;
• Self-balancing: dynamic routing based on node traffic load, which ensures the optimal
path for data transmission;
• Dynamic communication: any two nodes in a mesh topology can communicate with
each other, allowing for easy packet return.

5.2. Wi-Fi Support

• Extended coverage: up to 100 meters for a hop between two nodes in the mesh
network;
• Great capability: up to 1000 nodes are allowed to connect to each other in a mesh
network;
• High bandwidth: up to 10 Mbps of data transfer rate;

• Support for Wi-Fi sniffer.

📖 Note:

The speed of networking is subject to the actual network conditions.

5.3. Bluetooth Support

• Support for controlling mesh devices directly via Bluetooth on mobile apps;

• Support for access to Bluetooth devices;

• Support for Bluetooth Sniffer.

5.4. Low Power Consumption
