Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy functions.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the number of applications, leading to a growth in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. These devices now require a variety of specifications for their wireless communication functions, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption by incorporating CYW43022 technology, which enables connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This technology helps reduce power consumption at the system level by utilizing the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. Additionally, the product was made more compact by minimizing space occupied by noise shields on the module.
