Industry leading power consumption
2
Minimizes the time needed to transfer large files and enables applications such as High Definition
(HD) video streaming and multi-player gaming.
Reduces the number of “dead zones”, network re-connects, and dropped data packets; dramatically
improving connectivity throughout the home and enabling more consistent coverage in the
enterprise.
Enables wireless connectivity to Bluetooth* enabled devices such as mice, keyboards, and headsets.
Wirelessly share your videos, photos, music or the Internet from your laptop to your HDTV.
Enables direct wireless connectivity to millions of Wi-Fi enabled devices such as digital cameras,
portable media players, game players, and printers without an access point for file sharing, file
syncing, or streaming activities. Also supports Intel® Wireless Display.
Reduced WLAN power consumption results in potentially longer platform battery life
utility, enjoyment, and convenience.
Enables the Intel
newer, thinner, smaller laptops, netbooks and tablets.
Reduces the time spent validating Intel® Centrino
establishing a single software package for all Wi-Fi drivers and applications.
Enables flexible performance pairing of Intel® Centrino® wireless products with most Intel®
processors and chipsets.
Provides IT managers the capability to remotely discover, heal, and protect wireless notebooks
regardless of the functional state of the operating system which can result in reduced on-site
support costs.
