Murata Commercializes Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF," designed to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features an integrated Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to a higher demand for IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different wireless communication functions now have specific requirements depending on the application they are used for. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022, which has connectivity processing capability, into its design. This allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. By offloading the Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network processing to the chip, power consumption at the system level is reduced. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
