Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF," which is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
To meet the growing need for low power consumption devices, Murata has used their unique wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By using noise shields in a smaller size, the overall module size was reduced, making the product more compact.
