Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF7002 is an ultra-low energy, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 companion IC able to offering seamless wi-fi connectivity. The IC can allow Wi-Fi-based locationing through the use of SSID sniffing of native Wi-Fi hubs. nRF7002 can improve the runtime of low-powered IoT options and provide each 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band, furthermore, it complies with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax. The companion IC is appropriate to be used in IoT utility and produce added advantages to the functions together with additional effectivity features that help long-life, battery-powered Wi-Fi operation.
Nordic claims that the nRF7002 is a ‘companion IC’ which is designed to supply seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and Wi-Fi-based locationing when used alongside the corporate’s current merchandise and even together with non-Nordic host units. The IC can be utilized together with Collection Bluetooth Programs-on-Chip (SoCs) and Collection mobile IoT Programs-in-Bundle (SiPs).
“This can be a dream come true for Nordic and its prospects.” mentioned CTO, Svein-Egil Nielsen, “We have been in a position to deliver our first Wi-Fi chip to market in a short time on account of buying an especially succesful Wi-Fi staff alongside a portfolio of Wi-Fi belongings that staff had already developed.”
