nRF7001 Smart Home Hub
Add single-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to a Nordic BLE/Thread smart home hub using the nRF7001 companion IC — bridging Thread mesh, BLE devices, and cloud services over Wi-Fi at lower cost than dual-band.
Add single-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to a Nordic BLE/Thread smart home hub using the nRF7001 companion IC — bridging Thread mesh, BLE devices, and cloud services over Wi-Fi at lower cost than dual-band.
Platform: nRF7001
Single-band Wi-Fi 6 companion IC with WPA3 support. Adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to existing nRF52/nRF53 designs with a smaller footprint than the dual-band nRF7002.
Use Case: Smart Home Hub
Central smart home controller that bridges multiple wireless protocols (BLE, Thread, Zigbee, WiFi) and enables unified device management and automation.
Why This Combination
The nRF7001 paired with an nRF5340 host combines Thread, Zigbee, and BLE multiprotocol with Wi-Fi 6 cloud connectivity — covering the full Matter protocol stack for a single-chip-per-protocol hub design.
Key Protocols
wifi-6, ble, thread
