Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 adapter is a CRF2 (Companion RF module)  supporting the 1st generation integrated Intel wireless 802.11ac  solution comprised of CNVi3 and a CRF. The solution provides  Bluetooth® 5 and 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi including wave 2 features such  as downlink MU-MIMO. It offers enhanced features such as antenna  diversity and is more cost-effective than the previous-gen Intel 802.11ac 1x1 products. Combined with Intel® Core™ processors and exceptional Intel wireless innovations, the Intel Wireless-AC 9462 dramatically improves your connected experience at home, work or on the go.

Delivers up to 3x faster Wi-Fi speed (up to 433 Mbps) than 1x1 802.11n, with up to 3x bandwidth for more users and devices.4 Advanced optional 802.11ac specification features and improved RF KPIs that enhance channel reliability and Wi-Fi performance result in better coverage and user experience. Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 enables smooth streaming of high-resolution videos, fewer dropped connections and less congestion, and fast speeds farther away from the router.

Downlink MU-MIMO allows an access point to simultaneously transmit data to multiple clients and can improve overall downlink network capacity potentially by over 3x.

The Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 adapter can be used in dual antenna platforms  and provides antenna diversity support. This means the adapter dynamically  chooses the better antenna to connect to and provides a robust connection for the  platform.
