SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2004 - Intel Corporation today introduced the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection, enabling both 802.11b and rapid 802.11g wireless networking capabilities. The technology delivers a new level of wireless network performance for notebook PCs based on Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology.
The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection is a standards-based and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED* wireless local area network (WLAN) solution that allows up to 54 million bits of data to be transferred per second. It is designed to maintain high throughput at longer ranges in office or home environments, along with efficient use of power to enable longer system battery life. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection is also software upgradeable, allowing it to support future security and other service enhancements.
"With support for open industry standards, the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection offers more than three times higher performance than stand-alone 802.11b solutions," said Jim Johnson, Intel vice president and general manager of the Wireless Networking Group. "The improved performance of 802.11g combined with strong power management features help deliver leading connectivity capabilities across a wide range of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED* access points."
"Standards-based solutions are critical to ensure Wi-Fi capable devices work across a variety of networks, ensuring a high-quality, consistent user experience," Johnson said. "The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection is a high-performance solution that will enhance the wireless networking experience for business professionals and consumers using Intel Centrino mobile technology-based notebook PCs."
The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connection consists of a communications and radio chip, both designed and developed by Intel at its wireless networking facilities in Haifa, Israel and San Diego.
