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 the "Type 2GF," designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the use of wireless communication-enabled equipment due to the growth of applications. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now necessary, depending on the specific application. In particular, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022, using their wireless design technology and product processing technology. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields on the module.
