NRF7002 – Low-power, advanced security, seamless coexistence

I appreciate Nordic leaving that bodge wire[1] in the photo, even though they didn&#x27;t have to. The article&#x27;s a little sparse on technical detail though.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nordicsemi.com&#x2F;-&#x2F;media&#x2F;Images&#x2F;Products&#x2F;Wi-Fi&#x2F;nRF7002-QFN48-6x6-on-PCB_1.jpg?h=267&amp;w=400&amp;la=en&amp;hash=77B4AE86A8AFEB0431FA8A80E07A215995C65EF9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nordicsemi.com&#x2F;-&#x2F;media&#x2F;Images&#x2F;Products&#x2F;Wi-Fi&#x2F;nRF...</a>

Very excited to see Nordic jumping into iot&#x2F;low power wifi. This ticks all the modern feature boxes, including wifi location positioning and wifi 6 ofdma.<p>It&#x27;ll be interesting to see whether Espressif esp32 with 802.11ax (announced 18mo ago) or this ships first! Not a lotmof options for core wifi connectivity out there.

This one supports 5GHz! Will be interesting to see how many things will use this instead of something like a 8266 just in order to be able to connect to 5GHz routers.

Not familiar with these boards. Is the firmware locked? Or can you flash your own?
