Product brief

Intel® Wireless-AC 9560
1st Generation Integrated1 Intel wireless 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® 5

Intel® Wireless-AC 9560

Integrated Ultra Wi-Fi. Ultra Features. Optimized Solution for System Design

The Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 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 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi including wave 2
features such as 160MHz channels delivering up to 1.73Gbps4
and downlink MU-MIMO. These new features deliver a significant
increase in user speeds in dense deployments, supporting fast
downloads and long battery life compared to legacy 802.11ac
devices. Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and exceptional
Intel wireless innovations, the Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 can provide
Gigabit wireless speed4 and dramatically improve your connected
experience at home, work, or on the go.

Form Factors
(M.2 2230 and 1216)

Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 enables smooth streaming of high resolution videos,
few dropped connections, less congestion, and fast speed farther away from the
router, enabling DL MU-MIMO and 160MHz channel use.

When using 160MHz channels, Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 can deliver over 5x faster
Wi-Fi speeds (up to 1.73Gbps) than 802.11n and double the speed of legacy

802.11a c5.

Downlink MU-MIMO allows an Access Point to simultaneously transmit data to
multiple clients and can improve overall downlink network capacity potentially by
over 3x6.

Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 1216 LTE SKU supports Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and LTE
coexistence that improves wireless performance and user experience while both
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 and an Intel LTE modem are being used in the same
platform.

enabling coverage throughout the home. Bluetooth 5 also doubles the transmit
speed for faster transmissions thereby reducing the overall power.7 Additionally,
Bluetooth 5 adds new enhanced data broadcasting enabling seamless services
such as location-based services and simpler pairing for Bluetooth® devices.

M.2 2230 modules enable system configuration and platform usage flexibility
with the use of a standard Key E socket for attaching the module.

M.2 1216 modules enable platform design optimization with the use of an Intel
CNVio interface between the integrated MAC and integrated Intel® Wireless-AC
9560 module, providing savings on motherboard space, BOM, PCIe and DP lane,
plus allowing for flexible motherboard routing up to 10''.
