Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizing 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, as the IoT market has grown, there has been an increase in IoT devices that include wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed for various applications, leading to a variety of specifications. Additionally, there is a demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, utilizing their unique wireless design and product processing technology to reduce power consumption. The CYW43022 chip enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, ultimately leading to lower power consumption for the product as a whole. Additionally, the product was made more compact by reducing the size of noise shields typically taking up space on the module.
