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 combination module called the "Type 2GF" which is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the use of applications, leading to a rise in IoT equipment with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, a proprietary wireless design technology, into it. This chip allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the use of smaller noise shields on the module helped make the product more compact.
