Murata Launches Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered IoT Devices: Proliferating Connectivity with Efficiency

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 includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.

In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in applications, leading to a growing number of IoT devices that incorporate wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of specific wireless communication features depending on their intended use. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.

Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, which has the ability 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 reducing the size of noise shields on the module.
