Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata is now offering a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module, developed by Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the use of applications, leading to a higher demand for IoT equipment with wireless communication capabilities. These wireless communication functions now require different specifications depending on the specific application they are used for. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has developed a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it. This chip allows the product to maintain connectivity even when the host 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 able to save energy. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields on the module, freeing up space.
