Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the Type 2GF, designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon CYW43022 chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more diverse, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has developed a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it, utilizing their wireless design technology and product processing technology. CYW43022 enables connectivity maintenance 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, space on the module was saved by using smaller noise shields, resulting in a more compact product design.
