What is the trade-off of using "Thread" or "Zigbee" mesh networking protocols versus a "star" topology for a large IoT sensor deployment?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Mesh topologies extend range and resilience by letting nodes relay messages for each other, but add routing complexity and increase power use for relay nodes; star topologies are simpler but limited by the hub's range and form a single point of failure
Correct Answer
Mesh topologies extend range and resilience by letting nodes relay messages for each other, but add routing complexity and increase power use for relay nodes; star topologies are simpler but limited by the hub's range and form a single point of failure
Mesh networks (Zigbee, Thread) allow devices to relay data, extending effective range and providing redundant paths if a node fails, but relay nodes consume more power and routing adds complexity; star topologies are simpler to manage but depend entirely on a central coordinator's range and uptime.
