Features Benefits
Performance, Flexibility, and Mobility
Up to 5x bandwidth increase
1
Up to 300 Mbps1 bandwidth compared to 54 Mbps
802.11a/b/g solutions
Minimizes the time needed to transfer large files and enables applications such as High Definition
(HD) video streaming and multi-player gaming.
Up to 2x greater range
1
MIMO, diversity, and support for up to two
antennas enable better wireless reception at the
same distance when compared to 802.11a/b/g
solutions
Reduces the number of “dead zones”, network re-connects, and dropped data packets; dramatically
improving connectivity throughout the home and enabling more consistent coverage in the
enterprise.
Bluetooth® connectivity
Bluetooth 2.1, 2.1+EDR, 3.0, 3.0+HS
Enables wireless connectivity to Bluetooth* enabled devices such as mice, keyboards, and headsets.
Intel® Wireless Display
3
With a laptop powered by a Intel® Core™ processor
Wirelessly share your videos, photos, music or the Internet from your laptop to your HDTV.
Intel® My WiFi Technology
4
Wireless Personal Area Network solution for
connectivity to consumer electronic devices
Enables direct wireless connectivity to millions of Wi-Fi enabled devices such as digital cameras,
portable media players, game players, and printers without an access point for file sharing, file
syncing, or streaming activities. Also supports Intel® Wireless Display.
Industry-leading power consumption
2
Optimized power modes (sleep states) reduce
power consumption during periods of inactivity
Reduced WLAN power consumption results in potentially longer platform battery life2 for greater
utility, enjoyment, and convenience.
PCIe* Half Mini Card form factor
Low profile, one sided design
Enables the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 to be designed into existing laptops as well as for
newer, thinner, smaller laptops, netbooks and tablets.
Validation Leverage
Common software across all Intel® Centrino®
Wireless adapters
Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and drivers
Reduces the time spent validating Intel® Centrino® Wireless adapters across customer platforms by
establishing a single software package for all Wi-Fi drivers and applications.
Broadly validated
Supported across most Intel® processors and
chipsets
Enables flexible performance pairing of Intel® Centrino® wireless products with most Intel®
processors and chipsets.
Manageability and Security
Intel® Active Management Technology
Δ
Asset management, remote system diagnostics,
network protection, and network security
technology
Provides IT managers the capability to remotely discover, heal, and protect wireless notebooks
regardless of the functional state of the operating system which can result in reduced on-site
support costs.
