nRF5 SDK for Thread
Nordic offers a complete solution targeting smart home application supporting the Thread networking protocol. The nRF52840 multi-protocol SoC and the nRF5 SDK for Thread makes a powerful solution for battery powered sensor devices in the smart home. The Thread networking protocol was designed to easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and to the cloud using real Internet Protocols over a low-power, wireless mesh network. Built on open standards and with IPv6/6LoWPAN protocols, Thread’s approach to wireless networking offers a secure and reliable mesh network with no single point of failure, simple connectivity and low power.
The Thread standard is a stack built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC, see figure. The Thread stack have built-in features for: IP routing, 6LoWPAN, security and commissioning. An important note is that Thread does not specify the application layer protocol. It is a network protocol similar to WiFi but designed for low power and resource constrained devices.
