Multiple wireless technology on the Nvidia jetson nano

Hi Michael,

What are your network requirements (e.g. security, throughput, how many stations connect to it)? Any limitations on chip size or power requirements?

Jesu

Hi Jesu,

Frankly, I'm not good with specifics but these are what I can draw from the design requirements;

1. It should be compatible with the Nvidia Jetson nano.

2. I should support ZigBee, a WiFi access point in the range of 5Ghz & 2.4GHz, Bluetooth with medium to long-range for security networking.

3. Size should be as small as possible since this will be a major factor in the material selection

I'm open to option available options.

Best,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm not familiar with Nvidia products. Is the Jetson running Linux? 

If so, depending on your cost requirements you may be interested in the WL1837MOD. In this page you can get an overview of all our WiLink products and from there you can click on the WL1837MOD. I selected this one because you mentioned you need dual band (e.g. 2.4 + 5GHz) and Bluetooth. This is a single chip device that supports dual band Wi-Fi and 2.4GHz Bluetooth + BLE and supports many standard security protocols. It also has two built in antennas (dual band) so you will not have to deal with RF certification.

If this does not work we have other Wi-Fi and BT options as well as Zigbee devices. I encourage you to go on ti.com then click applications->wireless connectivity to learn more.

Hi Jesu,

Yes this is a Linux based on the arm architecture. I will take a look at the product link and get back to you.

Thanks 

Michael

Thanks for the clarification. I have one correction to make from something I said earlier:

It also has two built in antennas (dual band) so you will not have to deal with RF certification.

This is actually incorrect. Modules contain all the passives for power management and for RF you get a 50ohm circuit at the pin for impedance matching your antenna. You will still have to go through RF certification but the process is simpler.

Okay, Thanks
