We have a project that involves both battery-powered 'slave' devices and a mains-powered 'master' device (which needs to support multiple slaves and support WiFi). We are currently planning to use the nRF51 for the 'slave' devices (intending to use the on-chip ARM core for the relatively simple processing needs they have). I'm looking for a suggestion on what we should use for the 'master' device.
The ideal solution would be a module that can support BLE master mode and WiFi, with an ARM core and sufficient memory to run a slightly more demanding application (although it's all very low-speed, low-performance stuff, for periodic telemetry/monitoring). Short of that, a solution that involved two "modules" (I use that term because I would prefer to use integrated PCB antennas and go through RF regulatory approval cycles in the early stages of the project), one module to handle the BLE master and one to handle the WiFi. Ideally, at least one of those modules would have sufficient CPU capacity that I wouldn't need to add an external CPU, but that could be done if necessary.
I realize (at least from what I can find) that Nordic does not make such a "combined" module or chipset, but I'd be interested in your recommendations for other vendors and/or a solution that consisted of Nordic + another vendor.
