Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF," designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes Infineon Technologies' "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the variety of applications being developed, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more diverse, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata has utilized their wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 integrated. This chip allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. By reducing power consumption at the system level, the product is more energy-efficient. Additionally, the product's design was optimized to save space by using smaller noise shields, resulting in a more compact overall size.
