RE: case about nRF7002 & 8kHz

Hi Peter,

Two nRF7002 devices can communicate directly without Bluetooth or an external access point by using Wi-Fi Direct (P2P) mode or SoftAP mode. Refer: https://nrfconnectdocs.nordicsemi.com/ncs/latest/nrf/samples/wifi/p2p/README.html. In P2P mode, one device acts as the Group Owner (GO) and the other as the Client (CLI). If you want to use 2.4 GHz proprietary protocol, that runs directly on the on-chip 2.4 GHz radio of the nRF54LM20 SoC itself, rather than through the nRF7002.

And 8KHz response rate would not be possible though. Wi-Fi protocol overhead creates round-trip latencies on the order of several milliseconds. Also, the nRF54LM20 + nRF7002 is suitable only for low-throughput application. See here:https://nrfconnectdocs.nordicsemi.com/ncs/latest/nrf/app_dev/device_guides/nrf70/nrf7002eb2_dev_guide.html#limitations-when-building-with-nrf54l15-dk-and-nrf54lm20-dk
