Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. Optimized Solution for System Design.
Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 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 oers enhanced features such as antenna
diversity and is more cost-eective than the previous-gen Intel
802.11ac 1x1 products. Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and
exceptional Intel wireless innovations, the Intel Wireless-AC 9462
dramatically improves your connected experience at home, work or
on the go.

up to 3x bandwidth for more users and devices.4 Advanced optional 802.11ac
specification features and improved RF KPIs that enhance channel reliability and
Wi-Fi performance result in better coverage and user experience. Intel® WirelessAC 9462 enables smooth streaming of high-resolution videos, fewer dropped
connections and less congestion, and fast speeds farther away from the router.
Downlink MU-MIMO allows an access point to simultaneously transmit data to
multiple clients and can improve overall downlink network capacity potentially by
over 3x.

speed for faster transmissions, thereby reducing the overall power.6 Bluetooth®
5 also adds new enhanced data broadcasting enabling seamless services such as
location-based services and simpler pairing for Bluetooth® wireless technology
enabled products.

M.2 1216 modules enable platform design optimization with the use of an Intel®
CNVi interface between the integrated MAC and integrated Intel® Wireless-AC 9462
module, providing savings on motherboard space, BOM, PCIe and DP lanes, plus
allowing for flexible motherboard routing up to 10".
