Nordic Semiconductor nRF7002 Wi-Fi® 6 Companion IC provides seamless connectivity and Wi-Fi-based location (SSID sniffing of local Wi-Fi hubs). The Nordic Semiconductor nRF7002 is designed to be used alongside Nordic’s existing nRF52® and nRF53® Series BLUETOOTH® Low Energy System-on-Chip (SoCs) and nRF9160 cellular IoT System-in-Package (SiP). Nordic Semiconductor nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 Companion IC can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices.
With Wi-Fi 6, the nRF7002 enables support of all wireless protocols used in Matter, Bluetooth LE for commissioning, Thread for low power mesh, and Wi-Fi for high-throughput. Matter is a protocol championed by Apple, Amazon, Google, Nordic Semiconductor, Samsung, and hundreds of other companies in consumer IoT.
SPI or QSPI can be used to communicate with the host, and an extra coexistence feature allows for seamless coexistence with other protocols like Bluetooth LE, Thread, or Zigbee®. The nRF7002 is integrated and supported in Nordic's nRF Connect SDK. The nRF7002 DK allows for evaluating the nRF7002. It features an nRF5340 host processor connected to the nRF7002 via QSPI.
