Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG 802.11a/b/g PCI express mini card WM3945AGM / WM3945AGM2GEN / WM3945AGM1WB - Brand New

The Intel® PRO/Wireless Network Connection is the integrated Wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter for Intel® Centrino® processor technology and desktop personal computers. The Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection provides freedom and flexibility to work and play without hunting for a phone jack, network cable, or plugging in a special card.

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 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 processor 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. For more information about the wireless LAN performance of Intel Centrino processor technology read our Performance White Paper or review the technical specifications in our product briefs.

 
Great Battery Life
The Intel® PRO/Wireless network supports the great battery life benefits of Intel Centrino processor technology. Intel® Intelligent Scanning Technology reduces power by controlling the frequency of scanning for access points.

 
Verification
Intel Centrino processor technology is being verified with leading VPN infrastructure products. Intel is working with hardware and software developers and wireless service providers to deliver a reliable and integrated wireless mobile computing experience.
