Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," aimed at supporting the growth of battery-operated IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies CYW43022 chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen growth in the number of applications in recent years, resulting in an increase in IoT devices that come with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions to have specific specifications to meet their needs. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
Murata has used its own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022. This chip allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By reducing power consumption at the system level, the product is more energy-efficient. Additionally, the product is made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
