SoC Intel Gemini Lake products, Cannon Lake processors, as well as Intel 300-series chipsets for desktop Coffee Lake CPUs will get builtin CNVi (Connectivity Integration) modules. It’s already clear, that these modules will contribute to Intel platforms wireless connectivity in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks.CNVi obtains the Wi-Fi 802.11ac (and lower) MAC media access controller, MAC Bluetooth 5 controller and the wideband Bluetooth 5 modem. Radio-frequency Wi-Fi and WiGig components will stay as the discrete CRF (Companion RF) interface with a wideband Wi-Fi/WiGig modem and necessary high-frequency circuits/filters.
At present, the SoC/CPU/south bridge hold several wireless platform parts, which saves costs, simplifies design and solutions developing. However, the Intel company suggests using the CNVio interface and Wireless AC 9560 modules (available in M.2 2230 and M.2 1216 form factors) of its own making instead of PCIe and USB. We doubt whether it’ll be possible to …

The importance of uninterruptible power supply units in home and corporate systems can't be overestimated. Those units save PCs and other devices from malfunctions and total failure in case of voltage fluctuations or sudden disappearance. In this light, many prudent users tend to acquiring UPS with the aim to protect their hard-earned platforms from breakdown. PowerCom is known to deliver high-end UPS units which can be employed as in standard home systems, so in large corporate ones, where the danger of sudden voltage variations is great. Its latest product Phantom PTM 600AP is able to ensure total reliability in the most unexpected conditions.
