nRF7002 is an ultra-low power dual band wireless companion Integrated Circuit (IC) for low-power Wi-Fi® 6 on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
On the Nordic Thingy:91 X™, the nRF7002 IC provides Wi-Fi connectivity to the nRF9151 System in Package (SiP) or the nRF5340 System on Chip (SoC) through the shared Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. On the Nordic Thingy:91 X™, the primary use-case for the nRF7002 IC is to provide support for SSID-based Wi-Fi location tracking on the nRF9151 SiP. When the nRF9151 SiP acts as the host for the nRF7002 IC, only Wi-Fi scanning is supported. The nRF5340 SoC supports coexistence between Bluetooth® Low Energy and Wi-Fi and can act as the host for the nRF7002 IC.
