print this page
As recognized industry leaders of client and infrastructure systems, Intel and Cisco are working together to enable a protected, interoperable, and manageable wireless mobility ecosystem.

With Intel as a lead collaborator in the Cisco Compatible Extensions Program, customers of Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology-based notebooks and Cisco Aironet* wireless LAN infrastructure can enjoy the benefits of deploying mobility solutions into their workforces with Cisco's optimized end-to-end security solution for WLAN connections.

The Cisco Compatible Extensions Program includes multiple technology requirements such as:
  • Licensing, support, and security feature validation
  • Support for additional wireless networking features

Are Your Systems Cisco Compatible?
Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology with Intel PROSet software includes support for Cisco Compatible Extensions. With PC manufacturer's availability and validation, this enables interoperability with Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructure. Full functionality may require downloading additional software. Check with your PC manufacturer for details regarding Cisco Compatible availability.

Productivity Tools of Choice for Your Mobile Workforce
Cisco Compatible-validated notebooks based on Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology offer authentication and encryption (such as LEAP1 and CKIP), for protected access and compatibility with Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructure in a platform optimized for mobility.

As you integrate hardware mobility solutions using technology from industry leaders Intel and Cisco, you can also deploy Cisco's security solution for protected, wireless communications throughout your enterprise.
