The Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection is the integrated Wireless LAN (WLAN) solution for Intel Centrino mobile technology. The Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection works in concert with the other Intel Centrino mobile technology components to provide freedom and flexibility to work and play on the go without hunting for a phone jack, network cable, or plugging in a special card. Get connected through wireless LAN networks in your home, in the office, and in wireless LAN hotspots in airports, hotels and coffee shops.

Dual and Tri-Mode Solutions
The Intel PRO/Wireless network connection provides deployment flexibility and connectivity convenience by offering a choice of products including a dual mode (supporting 802.11b/g), and a tri-mode (supporting 802.11a/b/g) product.

Ease-of-Use and Manageability
Intel PROSet/Wireless Software is an advanced wireless client that is designed for usability. It includes an intuitive user interface where, at a glance, the user is provided an overview of the WLAN environment. For example, all available networks, along with their corresponding signal strength, technology type, network name, and security status is displayed on the main screen. In addition, users can see all of their profiles and can import/export profiles between systems. Intel PROSet software enables a superior mobile experience for consumers and enterprise users by providing:

Intel Smart Wireless Solutions support including:
Security Assistant - simplifies WLAN security configuration
Wireless Troubleshooter - assists users with WLAN connectivity and captures events for troubleshooting

Save profiles that allow users to automatically connect and securely switch between networks

IT Administrator Tool - enabling network managers to remotely manage and update wireless settings on clients

Centralized Profile Management simplifies IT profile distribution

Single Sign On support enabling a single set of credentials to authenticate the user to both WLAN network and the machine/domain

Wake on WLAN - allows remote wake up of mobile clients to perform software updates

EAP-SIM support allowing one-bill roaming between cellular networks and supported WLAN hotspots

Network Robustness
As enterprises continue to deploy and invest in WLAN infrastructure, Intel is helping enable additional usage models and functionality that will put their WLAN investment to even greater use. Business Class Wireless Suite, a collaboration between Intel and Cisco, provides integrated wireless LAN solutions to enable new applications and higher performance for businesses when using Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection hardware and Cisco* Unified Wireless Architecture. New capabilities include Enhanced VoIP Quality Technology and Optimal AP Selection Technology. In addition, Noise Interference Filter enhances performance especially in areas with wireless signal overlap.

Security
Intel Centrino mobile technology supports the latest industry standards enabling safer notebook connectivity. It also provides third-party security enhancement support for Cisco* Compatible Extensions (such as LEAP, EAP-FAST and CKIP.) With a PC manufacturers' certification, this feature enables interoperability with Cisco* Unified Wireless Architecture and other Cisco* compatible validated products.

Performance
With throughput up to 54 Mbps at 5 GHz (802.11a) and 2.4 GHz (802.11g), the Intel PRO/Wireless network connection family enables fast network connections. The Intel Wireless Coexistence System helps reduce interference with certain Bluetooth* devices. Power Save Protocol (PSP) is a user selectable feature with five different power states, allowing the user to make their own power versus performance choice when in battery mode.
