BT 4.0 + WiFi combo USB dongle?

[brilliantdonkey]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of any Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi combo USB adapters? I've seen quite a few BT 3.0 + WiFi combo dongles, but not BT 4.0, and I want to use BT 4.0 Low Energy peripherals (like the TI SensorTag) with the RPi.

My reason for not just using two separate USB adapters is that the combo chipsets have improved radio coexistence algorithms to support operating Bluetooth and WiFi on a single 2.4 Ghz antenna, whereas having two separate 2.4 Ghz radios right next to each other would probably cause interference and degrade performance quite a bit, and my application is space-constrained enough that I can't use external antennas or USB extension cables.

Thanks!

I'm also interested.

Count me in as well. The Pi is perfect for LE. It would also be nice to see 2.4/5 on the WiFi side.

This is my ideal product:

but nothing exists like this yet?

Same question, half a year since this has been posted.
Any news on this?

I’m looking for a WiFi & Bluetooth 4 Low Energy usb dongle for my Pi.

plus, I’ve seen people mentioned a wiki where a compatibility list of hardware exists. Where is it?

Incredibly disappointed well!!

I thought by now we would have a perfect combo unit to plug into one USB. Why can't that market see that something like this would sell incredibly well?

+1 for me!
This would allow to use a RPi model A (1 USB port).

I am interested as well.

I recently purchased the one mentioned above for 10 to test it.
