Product brief
Intel® Wireless-AC 9461
1st Generation Integrated1 Intel Wireless 802.11ac, Dual Band,
1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® 5, Single Antenna
Intel® Wireless-AC 9461
Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. Optimized Solution for System Design.
Intel® Wireless-AC 9461 adapter is a CRF2 (Companion RF module)
supporting the 1st generation integrated Intel wireless 802.11ac
solution comprised of CNVi3 and a CRF. The solution provides
Bluetooth® 5 and 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi including wave 2 features
such as downlink MU-MIMO. It is a single antenna CRF and more
cost-effective than the previous-gen Intel 802.11ac 1x1 products.
Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and exceptional Intel wireless
innovations, the Intel Wireless-AC 9461 dramatically improves your
connected experience at home, work or on the go.
