Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that utilize wireless communication. The specific requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied depending on the application. Devices that run on batteries now also need to have wireless communication functions that consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, 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 capabilities. By reducing power consumption at the system level, the product is more energy-efficient. Additionally, the product has been made more compact by using smaller noise shields, freeing up space on the module.
