SimpleLink™ Wi vs nRF Mesh

The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Solution Starter Pro mobile app is a tool for users to configure, connect and communicate with TI's CC31xx and CC32xx devices. • Configure the SimpleLink Wi-Fi device to connect to an access point • Locate other SimpleLink Wi-Fi devices connected to the network The SimpleLink Wi-Fi family is the first in a series of easy to use, low power wireless connectivity solutions for the IoT. This Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ chips and modules allow customers to easily add embedded Wi-Fi and Internet connectivity to a wide-range of home, industrial and consumer electronics. • SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC31xx: Connect any microcontroller (MCU) to the Internet of Things with this wireless network processor • SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC32xx: Industry's first single-chip Wi-Fi solution with user-dedicated programmable MCU For more information on the SimpleLink Wi-Fi family, or to download the latest host embedded code, visit: www.ti.com/simplelinkwifi

nRF Mesh allows you to easily deploy nodes to any Bluetooth Mesh compatible Nodes, giving you flexibility to deploy many different Mesh network Setups. Features: • Identifying: Identify a node before provisioning it. • Provisioning: Deployment of a new Node is as simple as a press of a button. All Out-Of-Band (OOB) methods are supported. • Remote Provisioning: Allows provisioning Nodes that are too faw to reach them directly. • Configuration: Create Network and Application keys or use the randomly generated ones, subscribe to groups and setup your nodes for publishing. • Node Control: Control nodes with Generic OnOff Server, Generic Level Server, Generic OnPowerUp Server, Scene Server and many other models. • Device Firmware Update: Quickly send a new firmware to the Distributor and observe it slowly distributing it to all the nodes. Additionally, you may also run the following configuration commands on your network: • Fully control node publication data. All publication parameters are configurable. • Add/Remove one or more subscription addresses on a model. • Create own AppKeys, or generate them using the builtin crypto-safe generator. • Bind/unbind an Application Key to a specific model for full granular control of your networks' security. • Explore the nodes' capabilities to view all elements, models, provisioning time and date, Manufacturer and available vendor data. • Set the Default TTL on a per-node basis. • Manage global AppKey list on a node. • And much more... Hardware support: - This version of the app is capable of communicating with any BLE devices that speak Bluetooth Mesh! - We recommend nRF5 devices with our nRF SDK for Mesh or nRF Connect SDK.
