87-YB798-1 Rev F
QCA4020/4 Wi-Fi SoCs are low power host-
less Internet of Things (IoT) platforms oering
multiple radios, standards, protocols and
connectivity framework support on a single-
chip solution.
The QCA4020 tri-mode System-on-Chip
(SoC) integrates Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi
and 802.15.4-based technologies, including
ZigBee and Thread, and the QCA4024
dual-mode SoC integrates Bluetooth 5 and
802.15.4.
Both QCA4020 and QCA4024 deliver
advanced features from the Qualcomm®
Network IoT Connectivity Platform, including
virtually seamless coexistence across
technologies with pre-integrated support
for HomeKit and the Open Connectivity
Foundation (OCF) specifications, as well as
support for AWS IoT soware development kit
(SDK) and for Microso Azure IoT Devices SDK
to connect with Azure IoT Hub.
The QCA4020/4 SoCs supports a
connectivity solution with advanced
smart coexistence, integrating numerous
wireless communication technologies into
a single SoC, an approach that addresses
fragmentation in many technology areas.
QCA4020/4 supports hardware-based
security features in a low power, cost-
optimized single-chip solution oering flexible
product development options for OEMs.
