Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Advancing Battery-Powered Connectivity
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications that utilize wireless communication functions in recent years. There is now a variety of specifications for these functions depending on the specific application. In particular, wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices are now expected to have lower power consumption.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with the CYW43022 integrated, allowing it to consume less power. The CYW43022 chip can 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, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
