Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF," which is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has responded to the demand for low power consumption by integrating the CYW43022 chip into their product. This chip allows for 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 on the module.
