Toshiba Bluetooth Mesh
With the TC3567x family Toshiba now also offers Bluetooth Mesh for a simultaneous interaction between multiple devices (m2m, many-to-many connection). This brings the advantage that the low power nodes now can send messages over longer distances.
Toshiba provides a Bluetooth Mesh evaluation platform based on the TC35678 Bluetooth Low Energy chip embedded in the Panasonic PAN1760A module and also a Development kit called BMSKUSBBT1760A(P). The Kit is also available from Panasonic, order number ENW89847AWKF, PAN1760A.
The Bluetooth Mesh SDK is provided by the Toshiba Bluetooth Developer Zone, registration: https://apps.toshiba.de/web/SDKRegistration/. Therefor you need to comment in the “Additional information” field that you would like to get access to the Bluetooth Mesh SDK, as it is currently only available on request. NDA is required.
