Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
In the past few years, there has been a growth in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities due to the increasing number of applications in the market. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now required based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata responded to the need for low power consumption by incorporating their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integration. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This results in reduced power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
