AMD and Qualcomm have collaborated to optimize FastConnect 6900 wireless connectivity for the Ryzen Pro line of processors for business laptops. By using the 6 GHz wireless band, FastConnect can improve video conferencing, reduce latency and increase connection reliability by using multiple Wi-Fi bands. But FastConnect offers more.
IT admins can now leverage the AMD management processor and utilize FastConnect’s support for nearly three dozen of the most popular Open Standard-Based (DASH) profiles to perform remote management on commercial platforms AMD. It’s a fantastic integrated, out-of-the-box solution for businesses where hybrid working is now a big part of what IT administrators have to manage.
“Out-of-band Wi-Fi remote management is an important tool for enterprise IT managers to diagnose and repair problems, even when the operating system is not running,” says Jason Banta , CVP and General Manager, OEM Client Computing AMD.
Revolutionizing mobile computing
“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, delivering enterprise-grade remote management to users of the new hybrid workplace.”
The first chips to offer FastConnect will be AMD Ryzen PRO 6000 Series processors, which will be found in systems such as the Lenovo ThinkPad Z Series and HP EliteBook 805 Series. Together with FastConnect, these chips deliver the power, performance and long battery life – features that business laptop users need.
“Our collaboration with AMD reflects Qualcomm Technologies’ commitment to mobile computing. By optimizing FastConnect 6900 for platforms powered by AMD Ryzen 6000 Series processors, we are bringing secure Wi-Fi remote management to enterprises AMD customers,” said Dino Bekis, vice president and general manager, Mobile Compute and Connectivity, Qualcomm Technologies. “This is the first step in our relationship to bring superior wireless connectivity to AMD’s mobile computing roadmap.”
