Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to a rise in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific specifications for wireless communication functions. In the case of battery-powered devices, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions that consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022, a proprietary wireless design technology, and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip enables connectivity maintenance even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This results in reduced power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
