Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Equipment Growth
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" in collaboration with Infineon Technologies. This module is designed to help increase the use of battery-powered IoT devices.
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. Different specifications for wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a trend towards lower power consumption in wireless communication functions for battery-powered devices.
To meet the need for low power consumption, Murata utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities. As a result, the overall power consumption of the product is reduced. Additionally, the product was made more compact by using smaller noise shields, allowing for space-saving on the module.
