Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" in partnership with Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific specifications for their wireless communication functions. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
To meet the growing need for low power consumption devices, Murata utilized their own wireless design and product processing technologies to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the device to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. As a result, the device consumes less power overall. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, Murata was able to save space on the module and make the product more compact.
