Are you buying RTL8720 or RTL8722? And also what is the suffix of the model? Like RTL8722DM, or RTL8720DN, these two are totally different things

We’d like to use a combo solution in our device 2.4/5GHz WiFi+BLE5. It should also be as small as possible, has an integrated flash memory, and is power effective.  
Based on the datasheet it seems like the most optimal solution we can consider for our device is the RTL8720DF.  
Also, to confirm the RTL8720DN -does require an external flash, right?

Who can assist us in this and support further?

Same question here – are you interested in the module or just the chip?

For modules, I think you can find many reliable source on Alibaba for various Realtek IoT IC models

For IC, you may drop me a private message so I can help to forward your enquiry to Realtek’s regional distributor/representative

Thanks

I am looking for the all in one solution for our IP camera like product, I think 8720DF is the prefect match, where I can find the complete datasheet and quotation? PS, I need the chip, not the module
