GATTBrowser vs nRF Mesh

GATTBrowser is the best generic application to scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices and communicate with them. It also provides specific features to communicate with the Renesas Bluetooth Low Energy products. [Features] - Scans nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices - Displays the Advertising data - Displays the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) - Connects to Renesas Bluetooth Low Energy Products as well as other Bluetooth Low Energy devices - Displays the Services and Characteristics information - Communicates with Bluetooth Low Energy devices - Supports Renesas specific Services and Characteristics - Allows you to register names for custom Service/Characteristic 128 bit UUIDs - Allows you to edit and/or delete the registerd names for the custom Service/Characteristic 128 bit UUIDs [Note] - Supported on iOS Version 12 or later - Tested on iPhone 6, iPhone 8, iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPad Air (3rd generation) Refer to the following about Renesas Bluetooth Low Energy products: https://www.renesas.com/application/key-technology/bluetooth-low-energy https://www.renesas.com/products/interface-connectivity/wireless-communications/bluetooth-low-energy Refer to the following about GATTBrowser User's Manual (R21AN0017): https://www.renesas.com/document/apn/gattbrowser-ios-smartphone-application-instruction-manual-rev112

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.
