Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module to Boost Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
The IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific wireless communication specifications. Additionally, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated into it, using their own wireless design and product processing technology to ensure 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 helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, Murata was able to save space on the module and make the product more compact.
