nRF7002 DK Hardware

The nRF7002 DK is a hardware development platform used to design and develop Wi-Fi® 6 applications. The Development Kit (DK) supports the development of low-power Wi-Fi applications and enables Wi-Fi 6 features like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Beamforming, and Target Wake Time.
