Hey, We monitor many building 'vitals and we're trying to find a general purpose solution that we can deploy in virtually any building from office buildings, to hotels, to warehouses, etc. Therefore the total number of nodes, distance between nodes, and the environment can vary a lot. We'd often dep...

The underlying protocol has something like 10 channels and each network needs at least 6 channels, so even splitting into two separate networks would result in some channel overlap. We don't have much control over where we put the nodes, so it's hard to physically subdivide into smaller networks, ev...
