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 combo module called the "Type 2GF" to assist in the widespread use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes Infineon Technologies' "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications in recent years, leading to a rise in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific wireless communication specifications. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions that consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating proprietary wireless design technology and product processing technology, along with the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, helping reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
