Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF," designed to help expand the use of battery-operated 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 a growth in the use of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied based on the specific application. In order to accommodate battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, using their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to meet the demand for low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, ultimately reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
