AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of
Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), today announced a
collaboration to optimize the Qualcomm® FastConnect™ connectivity
system for AMD Ryzen™ processor-based computing platforms, starting
with AMD Ryzen™ PRO 6000 Series processors and the Qualcomm®
FastConnect™ 6900. With the FastConnect 6900 system, the latest AMD
Ryzen processor-powered business laptops feature Wi-Fi® 6 and 6E
connectivity, including advanced wireless capabilities enabled with
Windows 11.
In collaboration with Microsoft, next-generation Windows 11 PCs,
such as the Lenovo ThinkPad Z Series and HP EliteBook 805 Series,
can harness the full potential of Windows 11 Wi-Fi Dual Station
through Qualcomm® 4-Stream Dual Band Simultaneous. Multiple Wi-Fi
bands outperform traditional single band connections for improved
video conferencing experiences, reduced latency, and enhanced
connection robustness. Leveraging the 6 GHz band, next-gen laptop
users can take full advantage of its bandwidth and speed
improvements without competing with any non-6E devices.
For IT administrators, the AMD Manageability Processor1 now
available in Ryzen PRO 6000 systems is a solution that enables
remote management of AMD commercial platforms. When paired with the
FastConnect 6900, this solution enables wireless manageability with
support for 32+ widely used Open Standard-Based (DASH) profiles.
Together the AMD Manageability processor and the FastConnect 6900
unlock enhanced capabilities for IT to manage systems.
“Out-of-band Wi-Fi remote management is an important tool for
enterprise IT managers to diagnose and fix issues, even when the
operating system is not running,” said Jason Banta, CVP and General
Manager, OEM Client Computing, AMD. “AMD Ryzen™ PRO 6000 Series
processors with Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 enable next generation
business laptops to have the processing and connectivity tools
needed to perform in modern environments, offering
professional-strength remote manageability for users in the new,
hybrid workplace.”
“Our collaboration with AMD reflects Qualcomm Technologies’
commitment to the mobile computing space. By optimizing FastConnect
6900 for platforms powered by AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors,
we’re bringing secure Wi-Fi remote management to AMD enterprise
customers,” said Dino Bekis, vice president and general manager,
Mobile Compute and Connectivity, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This
represents the first step in our relationship to bring superior
wireless connectivity to the AMD mobile computing roadmap.”
Industry Support“At HP, we are committed to
creating solutions that provide customers with innovation choices
critical to thrive in today’s hybrid work environments,” said Gagan
Singh, vice president, commercial portfolio product management and
experiences, HP Inc. “The AMD Ryzen™ PRO 6000 Series processors
deliver high performance, battery life, plus the remote management
features our customers expect, while the latest AMD Ryzen PRO
processors with Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 provide the option of
advanced connectivity.”
“Our enterprise customers demand the advanced manageability and
superior Wi-Fi connectivity AMD Ryzen™ PRO 6000 Series processors
with Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 offer,” said Tom Butler, executive
director, IDG Commercial Portfolio at Lenovo. “The Wi-Fi 6E
extension into 1200MHz of new 6 GHz spectrum addresses the demand
for reliable two-way data traffic such as video calls,
collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and remote management to
ensure sustained productivity for the global workforce facing
congestion from streaming, gaming and school-from-home.”
In collaboration with our OEM providers, AMD and Qualcomm
Technologies are committed to delivering leading commercial
platforms, addressing the new needs for business users and IT
departments.
