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 combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-operated IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions vary depending on the specific application. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions to consume less power.
To meet the demand for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes CYW43022. This 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. As a result, the product consumes less power overall. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
