Yes, the EFR32xG22E can transmit data without joining a network. This is especially useful in energy harvesting and Ambient IoT applications where minimizing power consumption is critical.
The device supports transmit-only modes, such as:
- Bluetooth Beaconing
- Zigbee Green Power Device (GPD)
- Proprietary TX-only protocols using the RAIL (Radio Abstraction Interface Layer)
In these modes, the device does not maintain a connection or join a network. Instead, it periodically transmits packets, which helps save energy by avoiding the need to constantly listen or stay in sync with other devices.
