Hello,

While the nRF7002 is capable of such functionality, the wi-fi direct mode is unfortunately not implemented yet. The overview of supported feature (with nRF host controllers) can be seen in this table here:

Kind regards,

Thank you for your reply.

When will you implement it?

Please let me know if you have decided.

I have a follow-up question.

Do peer to peer and WiFi Direct mean the same thing?

If different, please explain each.

Best regards,

Aoki

Yes, those are the same.

Wi-Fi direct is commonly known as Wi-Fi P2P.

Unfortunately, I do not have details about the timeline.

If you contact sales in your region, they will have a better overview.

 

If you do not have the contact details of your regional sales manager, you can send me a direct message and I'll provide the details to you.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
