Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Devices: A Game-Changer in Wireless Communication Technology
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated, utilizing their own wireless design and product processing technology to meet the demand for low power consumption. The CYW43022 chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This results in reduced power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
