My biggest question at the moment is around distributing a clock signal at 38.4MHz to the nodes when they are 100m apart (I.E.
Decawave is now part of Qorvo) Can this be done through a 555 timer, or is another dedicated chip required?
I confess I laughed when I read this. The timing precision needed is nanosecond or below, that needs
something like phase-locked VCXO's to achieve.

And then you some sort of time-difference sensing or phase-detector good to < 1ns
