Later this month Intel will make available updated networking software that provides additional support for Intel Centrino mobile technology security features. This software update for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection (Intel PRO Network Connection software V7.1), provides support for the latest enhancements to wireless LAN security such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). The networking software has been Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for WPA by the Wi-Fi Alliance and validated by Intel to provide greater compatibility for notebook users. Additionally, the software release provided for Cisco* Compatible Extensions (such as LEAP and CKIP), on notebooks should be certified by PC makers through the Cisco Compatible program. These enhancements improve the authentication and encryption of wireless LAN connections. The pricing includes the Intel® 855 Chipset Family, the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection and the Intel® Pentium® M processor, at speeds of 1.70 GHz, the Low Voltage at 1.20 GHz and the Ultra Low at 1.0 GHz. In 1,000 units, they are priced at $694, $341 and $319 respectively. These prices represent the cost of the three components (processor, chipset and wireless capability) that together make up Intel Centrino mobile technology. Intel also sells each device separately.
