[klaus1234]

Hi

i need and unrgent input:

I need a combined WIFI 6(with target wakeup time) and BLE chip and/or precertified module.

My colelague is pushing for a ESP32C6 from Ublox:

I would prefer nordic.

Which nrf chip has BLE and WIFI 6 at the same time, and is there a precertified module for that?

Can you also give me some reasons why Nordic is better than ESP32.

Thx

Hi Klaus

As of know, we have the nRF53 or nRF54L series with the nRF70 series running as a Wi-Fi companion chip in order to do both BLE and Wi-Fi. I can't comment on what we have coming down the line as we strive to focus on currently released products and features here on DevZone. 

Please contact the Nordic regional sales representative of your area for details on upcoming products and see if they have some information if the companion chip setup won't cut it for you. If you don't know who this is or how to get in touch, please reach out on the sales related questions form here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/About-us/Contact-Us 

Best regards,

Simon

Hi

does this mean: with current Nordic portfolio I would need one certified WIFI module and a second certfied BLE module, correct?

[Simonr]

Correct. 

We have certification guidelines for both available in the documentation pages here: 

• nRF70 Wi-Fi alliance certification: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nwp_045/page/WP/nwp_045/intro.html 
• nRF5x radio test sample: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/peripheral/radio_test/README.html 

Best regards,

Simon
