Intel Corporation today introduced the Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N network connection, an upgrade to the wireless component found inside Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology and other Intel-based notebooks.

As notebook PCs increasingly download broadband-intense content such as movies, videos and music, a more powerful networking solution is needed. According to Intel, the Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N technology offers users up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range âہâہ while providing up to an extra hour of notebook battery life when compared to existing Draft-N products.

Intel also launched its âہConnect with Centrino” program. Through this program, Intel has worked with leading access point (AP) vendors including Asus, Belkin, Buffalo, D-Link and Netgear to better ensure compatibility and performance. Intel’s wireless-N product is certified to work with multiple APs and as these AP’s successfully pass Intel’s rigorous real-world testing certification criteria, they will display a “Connect with Centrino” identifier on their product packaging, allowing consumers a choice for connecting with more confidence.

The new wireless-N technology improves the home network experience âہâہ especially when multiple people access their wireless network simultaneously and enjoy bandwidth consuming applications such as audio and video entertainment. Intel’s Next-Gen Wireless-N product reduces “dead spots” in the home; optimizes high-definition (HD) entertainment experiences such as streaming HD movies; improves battery life and provides the benefit of working with existing 802.11 a/b/g access points.

Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology-based laptops operate faster and more efficiently with Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N enhanced wireless communication capabilities. At the heart of the platform, the Intel Core 2 Duo processors have two processing cores âہâہ or computing “brains” âہâہ that can handle multiple tasks in less time while consuming less power. When integrated into Intel Centrino Duo-based systems running wireless-N, the Intel Core 2 Duo processors can improve viewing and playing back HD video, speed up conversion of songs into a digital format to upload to an MP3 player, and more quickly run the latest virus protection updates.

Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N technology as well as the “Connect with Centrino” identifier will be delivered in conjunction with new notebook computers powered by Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology from OEMs such as Acer, Asus, Gateway and Toshiba that are being distributed with Microsoft Windows Vista beginning in late January and other OEMs to follow.
