Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, the Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N technology aims to address that need by offering users up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range \u2013 while providing up to an extra hour of notebook battery life when compared to existing Draft-N products, the company adds.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">In addition, Intel says that it has initiated the &#8216;Connect with Centrino\u2019 programme. Through this programme, Intel has worked with access point (AP) vendors, including Asus, Belkin, Buffalo, D-Link and Netgear, aiming to better ensure compatibility and performance. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">According to Intel, its wireless-N product is certified to work with multiple APs, and, as these APs successfully pass Intel\u2019s testing certification criteria, they will display a &#8216;Connect with Centrino\u2019 identifier on their product packaging. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">\u201cIntegrating wireless-N technology into notebook computers based on Centrino Duo with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor delivers the speed, coverage and multi-tasking abilities needed for consumers to enjoy their home networking and digital entertainment,\u201d says Dave Hofer, director of wireless marketing for Intel\u2019s Mobile Platforms Group. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">\u201cAdditionally, access points that are identified by our &#8216;Connect with Centrino\u2019 logo assure consumers that they are purchasing a compatible wireless-N system.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intel has introduced the Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N network connection, said to be an upgrade to the wireless component found inside Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology and other Intel-based laptops that aims to help consumers better connect to wireless networks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-551376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551376"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551376\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
