Murata Revolutionizes IoT Equipment with Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module: A Game-Changer for Battery-Powered Devices
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combination module called "Type 2GF" that is compact and designed for battery-powered IoT devices. This module includes Infineon Technologies' "CYW43022" chip, which supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
In the last few years, the IoT market has seen an increase in the number of applications, leading to a higher demand for IoT equipment with wireless communication capabilities. The specifications for wireless communication functions have become more varied, depending on the specific application. Battery-powered devices now require wireless communication functions to consume less power.
Murata has created a product with low power consumption capabilities by incorporating the CYW43022 chip, which can maintain connectivity even when the host processor is in sleep mode. This is possible due to the chip's Bluetooth stack and Wi-Fi network offloading features. By utilizing proprietary wireless design technology and product processing technology, Murata was able to develop a more compact product by reducing the size of noise shields on the module.
