| Abstract |
Nowadays, wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices are considered as an integral part of home and industrial automation systems or environmental monitoring. In recent years, many new wireless protocols based on various hardware and software solutions have been developed and introduced into the market. In this publication, a comparison of Thread mesh with Bluetooth Mesh, Zig-Bee, NB-IoT, Sigfox and LoRa is shown. Smart Home, Smart City and Rural area requirements for wireless connectivity are analyzed. In addition, the usability of the Thread and others in the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP) applications is considered. The Thread protocol is based on IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard featuring 2.4 GHz radio connectivity. The paper also describes examples of applications created during study of Thread. The Presented solution is based on NRF52840 SoC (System on chip) and OpenThread - the opensource software implementation of the Thread protocol stack. © 2019 IEEE. |
