Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that come with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific wireless communication specifications, and there is a trend towards needing lower power consumption for wireless functions in battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with CYW43022 integrated into it, which has low power consumption capabilities. This is achieved through the use of proprietary wireless design technology and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its connectivity processing capability with the chip’s Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
