Part Number: CC8530
I have a particular requirement for a walkie talkie using the CC8530.
I would have 4 users (slaves) similar to headset with headphone and mic and one base station (Master)
Any of these slaves could speak at anytime and simultaneously too (not like a traditional walkie talkie where only one person takes control of the line).
My question is what kind of network links do we need to form. I believe the CC8530 can do 4 channels max.
1. Does the master need to open one channel with each slave, the slave would be in producing and consuming mode?
2. How would the master recombine the data of the slaves and send it back to all of them?
I understand that the CC8530 has enough bandwidth to do full fledged audio and for voice only applications I'm better off using the CC2510 / 11 series of devices. But I'd like to use the CC8530 for starters and then go on for more complex use cases.
