Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" to help spread the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications and an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a trend towards lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
In order to meet the needs of customers, Murata has utilized its own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with built-in CYW43022, which has the ability to consume less power. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, helping the product to consume less power overall. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
