Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata is now offering a low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help spread the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module is compact and integrates the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
The IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices that incorporate wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now important depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it. This chip enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This results in less power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, Murata was able to save space on the module and make the product more compact.
