Murata Introduces Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module to Drive Battery-Powered IoT Device Proliferation
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called the "Type 2GF" that is designed to help expand the use of battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen an increase in applications in recent years, leading to a rise in IoT equipment that includes wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication functions have become more diverse 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 created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating CYW43022 into it, using their wireless design and product processing technologies. The CYW43022 chip allows for connectivity maintenance 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, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields, saving space on the module.
