Question

Is LoRa & Z-wave concurrency available on STM32WL, similar to BLE & ZigBee/Thread concurrency on STM32WB?

There's only one radio - so it can only be doing one thing at any one time.

You would have to devise some sort of time-sharing scheme...

Appreciate your prompt answer. Thought so.
But then how does STM32WB, with a single radio as well, claim BLE & ZigBee concurrency? I guessed so hardware-based time sharing and imagined a similar scheme in STM32WL.

I haven't looked into how they do it, but I don't see any particular reason to assume that it must be (custom) hardware?

It seems that SiLabs own the Z-Wave IP, and the only 3rd-party licensee is Mitsumi - so no STM32 support at all?

Hello,

There is no support on STM32WL for LoRa and Zwave concurrency. We haven't any exemple, so it's up to you to create your application.

@Louis AUDOLY​  - Does ST have any support at all for Zwave ?

Hello,

No sorry we don't have any support on this protocol.
