STAR TOPOLOGY

In this communication topology, every node connects directly to a Gateway.
It ensures minimum power consumption & enables low latency communication.

MESH TOPOLOGY

Transmission of Data from one node to another that is in its range of radio transmission is allowed in Mesh Topology settings.

TREE TOPOLOGY

Also called the cascaded star topology in this topology a node connects to the other node that is higher than the tree and that node, in turn, connects to the main gateway.

APPLICATIONS

1. Internet of Things
2. Surveillance &          Monitoring for security, threat detection
3. Landslide detection
4. Medical applications like Patient monitoring
5. Industrial process monitor
