Features and benefits
Flexibility
Quad-Mode Solution for maximum flexibility
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN provides deployment flexibility and connectivity convenience by offering a quad mode (supporting 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N) product, which is capable of connecting to new "Connect with Intel® Centrino®" wireless N Access Points / Routers, but can also connect to any of the legacy Wi-Fi standards, 802.11a, b or g.
Performance
Up to 5x faster¹
Data rates up to 300Mbps offer major improvement over today's 802.11a/g products that deliver 54Mbps. This helps overcome network capacity issues, allowing increased simultaneous network activity for large file transfers, network backups, streaming video, multi-player gaming, VoIP and more.
Up to 2x greater range¹
MIMO, diversity and three antennae support enable better wireless reception for greater bandwidth at farther distances. This helps reduce the number of "dead zones," dropped data packets, and network re-connects, helping to dramatically improve connectivity throughout the home and enabling more consistent coverage in the enterprise.
Manageability and security
Intel® PROSet v11.1 WLAN Software
Well known, feature-rich application provides continued support for legacy and next generation Draft-N features on Microsoft Windows 2000*, Microsoft Windows XP* and Microsoft Windows Vista* via an 'easy to use' interface.
Intel PROSet/Wireless Software v11
IT administrator tool
This optionally installed toolkit enables network managers to create and distribute WLAN connection profiles, centrally set driver and application settings, distribute driver and software updates and package custom settings into a self-installing executable file. These tools help simplify deploying or updating wireless settings and profiles on notebooks remotely.
Advanced Security via 802.11i
Allows for increased wireless security by providing the WPA2 AES based algorithm. AES is the strongest encryption algorithm available today for mobile clients and helps ensure that enterprise wireless networks are protected with stronger authentication and encryption security.
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) over Wireless
Allow IT managers to remotely discover, heal and protect wireless notebooks. Features include enhanced asset management, remote system diagnostics, network protection and security independent of the operating system functional state, resulting in reduced on-site support costs.
Interoperability
Connect with Intel Centrino
Intel has certified Access Points from leading vendors through extensive compatibility testing allowing users to connect with confidence.
This identifier can be found on Draft-N wireless access points to ensure compatibility and real-world performance with laptops based on Intel® Centrino® processor technology.
Business Class Wireless Suite – High Density Networking
A collaboration between Intel and Cisco that provides integrated wireless LAN solutions.
Version 1 includes Enhanced VoIP Quality Technology and Optimal AP Selection Technology.
Version 2 includes High Density Networking. High Density Networking dynamically changes settings on Cisco APs and Intel WLAN clients.
This effectively raises overall capacity of the network by increasing throughput per client, and also allows for denser AP deployments.
Cisco Compatible Extensions v4
Intel is the lead collaborator with Cisco on Cisco Compatible Extensions. Key features in Version 4 include: Cisco Centralized Key Management, Call Admission Control, Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) and Voice Metrics. Resulting improvements include, helping to prevent noticeable delays in VoIP calls when roaming between Access Points, and improved network diagnostics.
Friendly Neighbor Assurance
Supports current Draft-N standard direction to support 40MHz channels only in 5GHz spectrum to minimize negative impact to legacy devices/networks nearby.
