Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. For devices that run on battery power, there is a demand for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, using their own wireless design and product processing technology to ensure low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption for the product overall. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
