WHAT IS THE ZERO 2 W?
Let’s take a look at a Pi Zero 2 W Comfort Set you can order from our online shop, buyzero.de.

Here’s the Pi Zero 2 W itself. Along with the Zero W and Zero it is the smallest Raspberry Pi ever made. OK, I’m not counting the Pico here.
Basically, the Zero series is all about being small – in space, and in price.

The original Zero, the 5 $ computer was given away for free on the cover of the MagPi magazine.

The Zero 2W is a 15 $ computer. Realistically it’s going to be a bit more expensive, as you will need some accessories, add shipping and local taxes.

And it packs a punch for these 15 $. Most notably, it is five times faster than the previous Zero W!

There’s only wireless networking on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
Let’s talk about this.

The Zero 2 W has WLAN 802.11 b/g/n. It’s 2.4 GHz WLAN – no 5 GHz on the Zero series, if you need 5 GHz WLAN you’ll have to use an external WiFi adapter, or you’ll have to switch to the Pi 4.
It also has Bluetooth 4.2 and Bluetooth Low Energy (or BLE). This is an upgrade which allows up to 2.5 times faster communication over the low energy link.
The Zero 2 W uses the same tried-and-true PCB trace antenna design. Right next to it is a landing pad for a U.FL connector – we are probably going to see some modifications with an external antenna as soon as the Zero 2W is in the hands of people who are wizards with the soldering iron!
Finally, the WLAN chip is inside a metal shield. This is important for so-called modular certification, for companies who want to use the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W inside their own products. This allows companies to spend less money and time on getting their products certified in international markets.

If you want to use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W inside your product, please talk to us, we can support you with this.
