It is designed to work with Nordic's existing nRF52® and nRF53® series Bluetooth® Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) and nRF91® series cellular IoT Systems-in-Package (SiPs). The nRF7002 can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices. The nRF7002 is the first device in Nordic's portfolio of unique Wi-Fi products that will seamlessly integrate with Nordic's existing ultra-low power technologies. Nordic brings decades of ultra-low power wireless IoT and silicon design expertise to Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi 6, they bring additional benefits to IoT applications, including further efficiency gains that support long-lasting, battery-powered Wi-Fi operation. Wi-Fi 6 supports all of the wireless protocols used in Matter, Bluetooth® LE for commissioning, Thread for low-power mesh, and Wi-Fi for high throughput. Matter is a protocol supported by Apple, Amazon, Google, Nordic Semiconductor, Samsung, and hundreds of other consumer IoT companies.
