Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Wireless Segment: Mobile Technology on-the-go
You download a cool new video to the laptop in your home office and now you want to use your home wireless network to send it to your personal laptop upstairs. Intel® Centrino® processor technology with optional Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N provides faster and broader wireless coverage around the home with a new wireless n network versus today's 802.11g network.
Up to 5X faster¹
Data rates up to 300Mbps offer major improvement over today's 802.11a/g products that deliver 54Mbps. This helps overcome network capacity issues, allowing increased simultaneous network activity for large file transfers, streaming video, multi-player gaming, VoIP and more.
Up to 2X greater range¹
MIMO, diversity and three antennae support enables better wireless reception for greater bandwidth at farther distances. Reduces the number of "dead zones", dropped data packets, network re-connects and dramatically improves connectivity throughout the home.
Over the Air (OTA) Wireless LAN performance testing conducted with a shipping OEM platform to establish a legacy performance baseline and isolate WLAN performance differences.

IxChariot* software version 6.x (Console version 6.25, Endpoint version 6.20) was used for wireless throughput measurements (Conductive & Over The Air). It consists of editable scripts to simulate traffic flows and throughput measurement SW that measures actual data transfer rates between two "endpoints".
Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect approximate performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance.
¹ Up to 2x greater range and up to 5x better performance with optional Intel® Next-Gen Wireless N technology enabled by 2x3 Draft N implementations with 2 spatial streams. Actual results may vary based on your specific hardware, connection rate, site conditions, and software configurations. Also requires a Connect with Intel® Centrino® processor technology certified wireless n access point. Wireless n access points without the Connect with Intel Centrino processor technology identifier may require additional firmware for increased performance results. Check with your PC and access point manufacturer for details.
