Zigbee mesh - Nodes

Hi, I working on the project, which needs a mesh networking to connect all the lights to a concentrator. So, I started working with the zigbee mesh kit, practicing on how to configure certain aspect of the network and testing other things. However, I have question regarding nodes. Does a mesh networking can be comprised with only one concentrator and routers, eliminating any end-devices?

Gome,

Sure it can. The main difference between a router and an End device that the End device sleeps, is a child node and can’t rout data. The router is a parent and can rout data.
