Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in applications, leading to a rise in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions vary depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions.
Murata has created a product that incorporates CYW43022, which has low power consumption capabilities, by using their own wireless design and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip's ability to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields on the module, space was saved, making the product more compact.
