Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" in collaboration with Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices and is now available for mass production.
As the IoT market grows, there is an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for these wireless communication functions vary depending on the specific application. In the case of devices that run on batteries, it is becoming increasingly important for the wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has developed a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022, utilizing their wireless design technology and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This feature helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
