Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Paving the Way for Battery-Powered Devices
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 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. These devices now require a variety of different specifications for their wireless communication functions, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a new product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it, using their own wireless design and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip enables connectivity maintenance 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, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
