ESP32 The ESP32 chip is older and consumes more power than the nRF52 chip, but is equipped with both WiFi and Bluetooth. Supported ESP32 devices include:
ESP32 MCU supports both wifi and BT. Higher power consumption though.
In general, as this network is supposed to provide alternative comms when regular networks break down: how reliant on battery / solar powered devices is the network?
