Thread looks interesting…250 nodes per network. Meshes can be joined together…like cells I guess.

Reference: The 802.15.4 category was developed for low-data-rate monitor and control applications and extended-life low-power-consumption uses

Not Just Another Standard

Unlike many existing technologies or IoT approaches, Thread is not an application protocol or a connectivity platform for many types of disparate networks. Thread is an IPv6 networking protocol built on open standards, designed for low-power 802.15.4 mesh networks.
Existing popular application protocols and IoT platforms can run over Thread networks.

Yes, “Thread solves reliability, security, power and compatibility issues for connecting products around the home…once and for all”

I’m interested in all mesh stuff and particularly how SAFE will interface with these networks. In this case IPv6 is used exclusively to connect from the outside into the mesh(s)
