Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support 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 an increase in the variety of applications, leading to a greater demand for IoT equipment with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for these wireless communication functions have also become more diverse, tailored to specific applications. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, a wireless design technology with connectivity processing capabilities, into its design. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
