Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module is compact and includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed for various applications, leading to a diversification in specifications. In addition, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
In order to meet the high demand for low power consumption devices, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. 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 at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by reducing the size of noise shields typically used, freeing up space on the module.
