Recommended For
Business or home, data intensive apps, streaming HD video, gaming, and network connectivity in crowded, heavy traffic and large area Wi-Fi environment

Up to 5x bandwidth increase - Support for 2 Transmit and Receive spatial streams
Minimizes the time needed to transfer large files and enables applications such as High Definition (HD) video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multi-player gaming by providing up to 300 Mbps of bandwidth compared to 54 Mbps for 802.11a/b/g solution

Up to 2x greater range - MIMO diversity enables 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 throughhout 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. Bluetooth 3.0+HS provides theoretical data transfer sspeeds of up to 24 Mbit/s, though not over the Bluetooth link itself. Instead, the Bluetooth link is used for negotiation and establishment, and the high data rate traffic is carried over a collocated 802.11 link.

Wi-Fi Direct - New game-changing technology certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance for direct device-to-device Wi-Fi connectivity
Enables Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect directly without the need for a WLAN or hotspot. With the Intel My WiFi Dashboard you can chat, transfer files, create a personal hotspot, and sync over Wi-Fi Direct.
