Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes a compact wireless design and integrates Infineon Technologies' "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen a growth in the number of applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices that have wireless communication capabilities. The requirements for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata has utilized their own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with low power consumption capabilities by integrating CYW43022. This chip allows for connectivity maintenance even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, space on the module was saved by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
