1 Introduction

Why settle for a Wi-Fi™-only WLAN Access Point when you can create a smart access point? Adding Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, or Thread to the access point will enable the use of localization, provisioning, and IoT for smart building. The TI coexistence feature will allow multiple protocols to operate at the same frequency, coexist, and not transfer data simultaneously. When two RF protocols are used in the same MCU, the Dynamic Multi-protocol Manager (DMM) is used to allow the protocols to operate concurrently. This will innovate enterprise, retail, and medical environments.
