Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now being mass-produced by Murata.
In recent years, as the IoT market has grown, there has been an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for these wireless communication functions vary depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022, which allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This is achieved through the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
