Intel Silently Launches Wireless-AC 9260 wifi 1733 Mb/s with 160 MHz channels & Bluetooth 5
Intel silently has introduced a new wifi0card. The specs are available for download on the Intel website. Typically not big news, but Intel certainly made a number of improvements as the AC 9260 will bring support for 160 MHz on 5G as well as adding Bluetooth 5.
Bluetooth 5 for example will bring larger ranges (up-to 4x) with high speeds. The new 160 MHz channel on 5 Ghz is capable of a 2x2 MIMO setup, and thus can achieve 1733 Mb/s.
"The Intel Wireless-AC 9260 adapter supports Bluetooth® 5 and 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi including wave 2 features such as 160MHz channels. These new features deliver a significant increase in user speeds in dense deployments, supporting fast downloads and long battery life compared to legacy 802.11ac devices. Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and exceptional Intel wireless innovations, the Intel® Wireless-AC 9260 can provide Gigabit download speed and dramatically improve your connected experience at home, work, or on the go."
These cards are based on a M.2 2230 form-factor, Intel; will also reelase an OEM version called Wireless-AC 9560, specs wise it is similar yet uses a smaller form factor of M.2 1216.
