The Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (Gig+) adapter is a CRF3 (Companion RF) module that supports the new IEEE 802.11ax standard - Wi-Fi 6 technology and is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™.4 The product supports 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 technology, including new features such as UL and DL OFDMA and 1024QAM, delivering data rates of up to 2.4Gbps5 and increased network capacity as well as Bluetooth® 5.1 support. These new features deliver a significant improvement in user experience in dense deployments, supporting fast uploads and downloads, lower latency and longer battery life compared to solutions supporting 802.11ac. Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and exceptional Intel wireless innovations, the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module can provide Gigabit wireless speed5 and dramatically improve your connected experience at home, work, or on the go.
Nearly 3X1 higher peak data rates and up to 4X capacity.2
1st Generation Intel® Wi-Fi 6 Wireless
Increased Capacity Faster Speed Better Coverage Extended Battery Life 802.11ax Dual band 2x2 Improved Security |
By implementing the new 802.11ax standard, with its unique features such as OFDMA, 1024QAM, Target Wake Time (TWT) and spatial reuse, the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module enables smooth streaming of high resolution videos, fewer dropped connections, and faster connections farther away from the router and in dense environments. When using Wi-Fi 6 technology with 1024QAM and 160MHz channels, the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module can deliver nearly 3x higher peak data rates1 (up to 2.4Gbps) and up to 4x capacity improvement in dense or congested environments compared to 802.11ac.2 Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module supports the new WPA3* security features, enabling next-generation authentication and military-grade encryption. |
| Bluetooth® 5.1 |
Bluetooth® 5.1 provides 4x6 range over Bluetooth® 4.2 using the same Tx power, enabling coverage throughout the home. Bluetooth® 5.1 also doubles data rate speed for faster transmissions, thereby reducing the overall power consumption.6 Additionally, Bluetooth® 5.1 adds new, enhanced data broadcasting, enabling seamless location-based services and simpler pairing for Bluetooth® devices. |
| Microsoft Windows* 10 | Full support for latest Microsoft Windows* 10 OS. |
| Form Factors (M.2 2230 and 1216) |
M.2 2230 modules enable system configuration and platform usage flexibility with the use of a standard Key E socket for attaching the module. M.2 1216 modules enable platform design optimization with the use of an Intel CNVio interface between the CNVi7and Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module8, providing savings on motherboard space, BOM and PCIe port, plus allowing for flexible motherboard routing up to 10''. |
