Wifi connection on nrf9160dk with nrf7002ek

[willdrowley]

Hello,

We have the nrf9160dk with nrf7002ek shield attachment. We have successfully been able to build and run examples with the scan only overlay (e.g. asset tracker v2).

I know that the SDK does not yet officially support LTE-M and wifi coexistence. Is it possible to form wifi connections using the nrf9160 as the host board? Even if this means turning off the LTE-M modem for the time being until coexistence is supported? Additionally, is there an approximate timeline as to when we can expect LTE-M and wifi coexistence?

Thanks,

Will

Hello Will,

Yeah I don't see why not. Though there might not be much support for any such solution in our SDK.

Additionally, is there an approximate timeline as to when we can expect LTE-M and wifi coexistence?

You'll have to ask your local RSM about this. Let me know if you do not know who that is for you.
