Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy functionality.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications recently, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for devices that are powered by batteries.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by integrating CYW43022 into it, using their own wireless design and product processing technology. CYW43022 enables the product to stay connected even when the host processor is asleep, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product's size was reduced by using smaller noise shields, making it more compact.
