Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new compact wireless module called "Type 2GF" that features a low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip from Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to help increase the availability of battery-powered IoT devices.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
Murata has responded to the need for low power consumption by incorporating their own wireless design and product processing technologies to create a product with CYW43022 integrated. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, resulting in a more compact product design.
