• 867 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1200 class

Overview

"PB#: J47195-001" is silkscreened on the back of the card in the FCC photos.
This device was under short-term confidentiality, but that expired 01/21/2018 ⚠.

• Host Interfaces Wi-Fi: PCI based (Internal to the SoC)
• Interfaces to the SoC Wi-Fi: CNVio (Intel propietary bus

inspired by the DPHY low power interface)

• Intel corrected errors in CNVio trace numbers on M.2 2230

(pins 21 and 23 swapped) on April 2017

Warning

It is NOT a regular WiFi card, but just a dumb "Companion RF module", to Gemini Lake

"Pulsar" CNVi IP-core. So it Is NOT backward-compatible in the all senses.

«Jefferson Peak» is an implementation of "Companion RF module" for AC-9560.

Description of "Pulsar" and CNVi overall idea: CNVi • Details

HW features Requirements

As it not a regular WiFi card it has as additional HW requirement

to support Pulsar IP-core.

Following Intel SoC devices include Pulsar:

- Cannon Lake PCH-LP

- Cannon Lake PCH-H

- Gemini Lake

Integrated Intel Wireless-AC (CNVi) and Companion RF (CRF) Module
