I appreciate Nordic leaving that bodge wire[1] in the photo, even though they didn't have to. The article's a little sparse on technical detail though.
That's odd, it still works for me? Top left corner of the IC, above the dot indicating pin 1, there's a small enameled copper wire connecting one pin/pad of the IC to a nearby ceramic capacitor
Very excited to see Nordic jumping into iot/low power wifi. This ticks all the modern feature boxes, including wifi location positioning and wifi 6 ofdma.
It'll be interesting to see whether Espressif esp32 with 802.11ax (announced 18mo ago) or this ships first! Not a lotmof options for core wifi connectivity out there.
This one supports 5GHz! Will be interesting to see how many things will use this instead of something like a 8266 just in order to be able to connect to 5GHz routers.
