Theoretically yes, but keep in mind that this increases the size of the greatest fiend in the embedded Internet: the buffers ;-) > Another thing I was thinking was a wireless coordinator (no wired > ethernet, wifi, or what have you) with multiple radios in the various bands > to allow communication between devices in different portions of the > spectrum.

So yes, though it is not described in any standard I know, this scenario might be possible. At least in theory… But even than I would propably prefer to connect multiple boards over an Ethernet switch, just to keep the routing overhead low ;-). > Thanks, > Adam > You're welcome, Martine * LoWPAN as in Low-Power wireless personal area network, not to be confused with 6LoWPAN ;-)
