Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF," which is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip that combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices are now expected to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, using their own wireless design and product processing technology to reduce 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 the product consume less power overall. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
