Wi-Fi 6 has made the popular wireless technology better suited to the IoT, forming a key part of the Matter standard and making it a foundation of the smart home.

As the much-paraphrased quote goes: “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” Twentieth-century predictions for today’s smart home are a case in point. As recently as 1999, 'experts' predicted that by 2005 we would have articulated two-armed house cleaning robots that could tidy up the place as well as wield a vacuum cleaner. Fast forward to 2022, and the suggestion is as far-fetched as ever.

For most of our nRF52 Series, we have a chip-scale package and a Quad-Flat No-leads (QFN) option. With our nRF52840, we introduced the aQFN package to our product portfolio. We also decided to offer the same device in a QFN package, so Nordic customers now have the option of using nRF52840 in QFN48. This has just been released to the market.
