The Intel Wireless-AC 9260 adapter supports Bluetooth 5 and 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi including Wave 2 features, such as 160 MHz channels, delivering up to 1.73 Gbps and downlink MU-MIMO. These features deliver a significant increase in user speeds in dense deployments, supporting fast downloads and long battery life. Combined with powerful 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.
Faster speed, better coverage, larger capacity
Intel Wireless-AC 9260 enables smoother streaming of higher resolution videos, fewer dropped connections, less congestion, and faster speeds farther away from the router, enabling DL MU-MIMO and 160 MHz channel use.
802.11ac, 2x2, dual band, 160 MHz, MU-MIMO
When using 160 MHz channels, Intel Wireless-AC 9260 can deliver faster Wi-Fi speeds (up to 1.73 Gbps). Downlink MU-MIMO allows an access point to simultaneously transmit data to multiple clients and potentially improve overall downlink network capacity.
Bluetooth 5
Bluetooth 5 provides more range with the same power, enabling coverage throughout the home. BT5 also doubles the transmit speed for faster transmissions thereby reducing the overall power. Additionally, BT5 adds enhanced data broadcasting, enabling seamless services, such as location-based services and simpler pairing for BT devices.
M.2 2230 form factor
M.2 2230 modules enable system configuration and platform usages flexibility with the use of a standard Key A or E socket for attaching the module.
