Murata’s Innovation in Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Modules Driving Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF," designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, and is now in mass production.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to a growing number of IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require wireless communication functions with specific specifications. In addition, there is a trend towards lower power consumption for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices.
Murata has created a new product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This chip helps reduce power consumption at the system level by offloading Bluetooth and Wi-Fi processing. Additionally, the product is more compact due to space-saving measures such as using smaller noise shields on the module.
