Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has released a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help increase the usage of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications, leading to a higher demand for IoT equipment with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. In addition, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption features by incorporating CYW43022, a proprietary wireless design technology, and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip's connectivity processing capability allows it to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, reducing power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the use of smaller noise shields on the module helped save space and make the product more compact.
