WiFi

• Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Single-band (2.4 GHz)
• 1×1 SISO
• 20 MHz channels, up to 96 Mbps PHY data rate
• Integrated internal PA, LNA, and T/R switch supports a single antenna shared between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Bluetooth (Not active now)

• Class 1 (100 m) and Class 2 (10 m) operation
• Bluetooth® 5.2
• Supports BDR (1Mbps), EDR (2/3Mbps), and Bluetooth® LE

Pico W has an onboard 2.4GHz wireless interface using an Infineon CYW43439. The antenna is an onboard antenna licensed from ABRACON (formerly ProAnt). The wireless interface is connected via SPI to the RP2040.

Pico SDK includes wireless networking support. The network stack is built around lwIP, and uses libcyw43 from Damien George (of MicroPython fame) to communicate with the wireless chip. By default, libcyw43 is licensed for non-commercial use, but Pico W users, and anyone else who builds their product around RP2040 and CYW43439, benefit from a free commercial-use license.
