Murata’s Type 2GF Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Technology
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module is compact and features the Infineon Technologies CYW43022 chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen growth in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications tailored to their needs. In order to accommodate battery-powered devices, these wireless communication functions must also be designed to consume less power.
In order to meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product featuring the CYW43022 chip. This chip allows for connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
