Murata’s Type 2GF Module: Revolutionizing Battery-Powered IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Technology
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which enables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
In recent years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the use of wireless communication functions in various applications. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing demand for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
Murata responded to the demand by using their own wireless design and product processing technology to create a product with CYW43022 built in, which has low power consumption capabilities. The CYW43022 chip can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps the product use less power at the system level. Additionally, space was saved on the module by using smaller noise shields, making the product more compact.
