Murata’s type 2FR hostless Tri-Radio Module for smart and industrial IoT applications
Mouser is now shipping the new Type 2FR Hostless Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth LE 5.4 / 802.15.4 tri-radio module from Murata. The Type 2FR module delivers class-leading integration, efficiency, and multiple radio capabilities for smart home, industrial automation, gaming controllers and smart accessory applications. The module is based on the NXP RW612 wireless microcontroller (MCU), powered by a 260MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core with Trustzone-M, 1.2MB of on-chip SRAM, and a Quad SPI interface with an on-the-fly decryption engine for secure external flash access to support dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.4, IEEE 802.15.4, and Ethernet.
“Hostless” means there’s no need for a separate MCU, saving cost and board space with ultra-compact dimensions, making it the smallest module of this type with a built-in MCU. The module also provides Matter Network over Wi-Fi, Thread, or Ethernet, prioritising security with the latest cybersecurity standards and compatibility with the Matter ecosystem. The Murata LBES0ZZ2FR-EVK evaluation kit, available to order from Mouser, provides a proven design to evaluate the Type 2FR module.
