WM02C, WM02E, WM02F Nordic nRF7002 WiFi 6 Modules

The WM02C series WiFi 6 modules are the best for long life, battery-power products operate in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. With an nRF53 or nRF54 modules, they support Matter applications.

The WM02C Series is a companion WiFi 6 module, providing seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and Wi-Fi-based locationing services. The WM02C Series can also be used with non-Nordic host devices. A Linux driver will be available from Nordic.

WiFi 6 Companion Module Summaries
