For Zigbee Pro stack what is the maximum achievable throughput?

As the bandwidth is 250 kbps, what is maximum throughput achievable?

We are trying to check if one node is network is able to send 38.4 kbps data on Zigbee Pro network.

It depends on how many hops it has to go through the network, if you need APS acknowledgement, if the channel is busy, then retries at MAC level will happen, etc. So Rule of thumb, you should expect 10ms of latency per hop. This is my experience from building real Zigbee applications.

Definitely a number of hops influence the maximum throughput. Our experience for example with the wireless UART application was achieving stable baudrate 38400bps. However, many factors can affect the communication speed on particular Zigbee channel.

Hi Alan, good to hear about you as well :smileyhappy:. You still have a lot experiences with Zigbee... Hey, let's make a chat on private thread.
