+OpenThread
+##########
+
+OpenThread is an open-source implementation of the Thread networking protocol
+based on IPv6. It is designed for low-powered devices that operate in a mesh
+network based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standards.
+Some of the main advantages of implementing OpenThread are:
+
+* Simple to install and operate.
+* Mandatory authentication of devices.
+* All communications are encrypted.
+* Self-healing mechanism with no single point of failure in a mesh network.
+* Support for low-powered devices.
+* Scalable up to hundreds of devices.
+
+For more details on OpenThread, `Click <https://openthread.io/guides/thread-primer>`__.
+
+Connecting to Internet
+**********************
+
+You can connect the Thread network to the internet using the Thread Border Router.
+The Thread Border Router is an open-source implementation provided by the
+OpenThread community.
