Is Bluetooth Mesh supported in iOS

Hi,

I am investigating a a way to create one-to-many network via BLE.

One of the nodes in a custom device and the 2 others are apple devices - iPhone and iPad.

The typology is:

1. The peripheral BLE device (my custom device) should connect to 2 central BLE devices

2. The connection is bi-directional and the data that is passed can contain big chunk of data.


As far as I know:

1. BLE connection is only 1-1, and I can't have one-to-many?

2. Beacon - allow one-to-many but its only one way?

3. BT Mesh - seems like the possible solution but I could not understand if iOS devices support this kind of connection with non-apple device and if in BT Mesh I can pass big chunk of data in the messages?


I hope to get response to all of the 3 question above.

(No need to mention that all should be done programmatically 🙂)



Thanks!

@asafB Got any progress on BLE Mesh? Even I'm trying to implement this. Can you please share any resources for this. TIA
