Wi-Fi Plays an Important Role in Our Everyday Lives

Today’s workplaces and school rooms can be anywhere, and the distinctions between the office and the home office have blurred. Because of these changes, Wi-Fi technology is handling an increasing amount of traffic. See how the latest technology advancements are addressing this issue.

Intel® Wi-Fi Technology

In 2003, the Intel® Centrino® platform launched and helped us discover a new world of thin and light notebook PCs. With integrated Wi-Fi capabilities, users can connect wirelessly with the freedom to work and play almost anywhere.

Benefits of Wi-Fi 7

Learn more about Wi-Fi 7

Accelerated Connectivity

Share files in seconds versus minutes with PC Wi-Fi speeds greater than 5 Gbps, 320 MHz channels, and 4K Quadrature Amplitude Modulation that move denser data packets faster than previous Wi-Fi generations.

Rock-Solid Reliability

With Multi-Link Operation and deterministic latency, your PC can simultaneously connect on two bands to maintain the best Wi-Fi 7 connection. Wi-Fi 7 devices can spread data across both bands in aggregate or use both bands to duplicate critical data for added reliability, ensuring that your important traffic arrives fast.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Trust in your connection with WPA3 (Enhanced) security features for authentication and encryption.

Benefits of Wi-Fi 6E

Learn more about Wi-Fi 6E

Speed

With additional dedicated high-speed channels and no legacy Wi-Fi interference, Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) enables speeds up to 6x faster than Intel® Wi-Fi 5 on managed networks1 and nearly 3x faster than Wi-Fi 5 for home and consumer use.2

Latency

Low latency is key to seamless experiences in real-time applications like videoconferencing and gaming. With Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) products using the unshared 6E spectrum, latency is up to 75 percent lower than with Wi-Fi 5,3 for the convenience of wireless internet without the excessive lag.

Interference

Wi-Fi 6E devices use a new, exclusive spectrum that is much larger and has many more channels than the spectrum used by other generations of Wi-Fi devices. This results in greater reliability and efficiency, as this spectrum can only be used by Wi-Fi 6E devices and is not impacted by legacy device traffic.

Improved Performance

Legacy Wi-Fi networks operate on a random first come first served basis, like vehicles at a 4-way intersection without stop signs. With Wi-Fi 6, the router manages network activities and tells devices when they can operate. This is like having a traffic officer in the same 4-way intersection, directing bicycles, cars, and trucks on when they can use the intersection for faster speed and less waiting latency.

Enhanced Reliability

Like the 4-way intersection without stop signs, unmanaged legacy Wi-Fi networks experience more wireless collisions and repeat transmission attempts due to multiple devices trying to communicate at the same time. Wi-Fi 6 router-managed networks ensure efficient operation which helps avoid interference and retransmission for more reliable connections.

Increased Network Capacity

Unmanaged legacy Wi-Fi networks allow random device transmissions which can result in a few slow devices using up most of the network time. Wi-Fi 6 routers identify devices on the network and schedule access. This is like a traffic officer optimizing the order of fast cars and trucks with bicycles to maximize the number of commuters that can use the intersection on a given day.

Wi-Fi Proximity Sensing

Many of us occasionally forget to lock our laptops when we step away, sometimes for long periods of time. The default sleep settings on your laptop’s operating system can take several minutes before shutting off the screen, leaving confidential and personal information at risk.

Check out how the same Intel® Wi-Fi that keeps your Intel® Evo™ or Intel vPro® platform laptop connected can also sense your presence, providing enhanced security and convenience.
