Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called "Type 2GF" that is designed to help support the growth of battery-powered IoT devices. This module features the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the past few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the use of applications, leading to a higher demand for IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different specifications for wireless communication are now required based on the specific application. Additionally, there is a growing need for wireless communication functions in battery-powered devices to have lower power consumption.
In order to meet the needs of consumers, Murata has utilized their own wireless design technology and product processing technology to create a product that incorporates the CYW43022 chip, known for its low power consumption capabilities. The CYW43022 chip's ability to maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading capabilities, helps reduce power consumption at the system level. Additionally, the product was made more compact by utilizing smaller noise shields on the module, saving space.
