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" 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 connectivity.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications leading to an increase in IoT devices that offer wireless communication features. The specifications for wireless communication functions vary based on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a demand for lower power consumption in the wireless communication functions.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which has the ability to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This is achieved through the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading features. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
