Matter-over-Thread Network Performance Testing
As Matter adoption expands beyond homes into offices, retail, and industrial spaces, network scalability and stability become mission-critical. This white paper presents Silicon Labs’ in-depth performance evaluation of large-scale Matter-over-Thread networks—up to 200 nodes—running in live, interference-prone environments.
The results confirm that Matter-over-Thread networks deliver robust, reliable performance even at commercial scale.
- Scalable, Stable Networks
Successfully formed and operated a 200-node Matter-over-Thread network with no manual topology engineering or router tuning required. - Low-Latency Multicast Performance
Demonstrated group command responsiveness suitable for large lighting and building automation deployments. - Reliable On-Network Commissioning
Achieved 100% success rate and consistent 7-second per-node commissioning without relying on BLE. - Predictable Unicast Behavior
Latency and packet loss remained stable across payload sizes and multi-hop routes. - Real-World Environment Validation
Testing conducted in a live office with active Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread traffic to reflect commercial conditions.
Matter is moving from residential smart homes into enterprise-scale IoT. As deployments grow, administrators need confidence that their networks can scale without breaking. Silicon Labs’ testing confirms that Matter-over-Thread networks are not just theoretically scalable—they perform under pressure.
