NRF7001-QFAA-R7

Low-power Wi-Fi 6 companion IC providing seamless connectivity and Wi-Fi-based locationing

The nRF7001 is a Wi-Fi 6 companion IC, providing seamless connectivity and SSIDbased Wi-Fi locationing focusing exclusively on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It is similar to the nRF7002, with the difference being that the nRF7001 does not support the 5 GHz band, which means it does not offer dual-band functionality.

The nRF7001, a versatile Wi-Fi companion IC from Nordic, caters to various use cases across industries, including industrial, medical, and the Matter ecosystem. It seamlessly integrates with Matter, a smart home standard supported by prominent players such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Nordic Semiconductor, Samsung, and other companies in the consumer IoT domain. With its exceptional adaptability, the nRF7001 empowers robust wireless connectivity across diverse applications, ensuring reliable performance and enhanced efficiency in your Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

The nRF7001 is a cost-effective alternative to the nRF7002 for those who do not require 5GHz functionality. It provides the same seamless connectivity as the nRF7002 while focusing on the 2.4GHz frequency band only. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to implement low-power Wi-Fi connectivity in their IoT devices without incurring additional costs associated with dual-band functionality.
