Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced 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 connectivity.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. As a result, there is now a variety of specific requirements for wireless communication functions depending on the specific application. In particular, there is a trend towards lower power consumption for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which is able 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. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module, saving space.
