Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to support battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
The IoT market has seen a growth in applications, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different applications now require specific wireless communication functions, and there is a demand for lower power consumption in wireless communication for devices that run on batteries.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it, using their own wireless design technology and product processing technology. The CYW43022 chip allows for connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. This helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, Murata was able to save space on the module and make the product more compact.
