External Product Specification (EPS) April 2017
8 Intel Confidential Document Number: 5672401.0
1 Introduction
The Intel
®
Integrated Connectivity Wireless-AC 9560 (code name Jefferson Peak or JfP) is an M.2
connectivity RF companion module for notebooks, tablets, and PCs. When combined with the Intel SoC
that supports Connectivity Integration (CNVi), it supports the following radio technologies:
802.11abgn+acR2 MIMO 2x2
Bluetooth
®
5.0
The product is a highly-integrated solution; the silicon design is based on the 28 nm process, and has
a new architecture that splits the Wi-Fi and BT radio blocks into an integrated MAC block (residing in
the Intel SoC) and the PHY/RF block (residing in the RF companion module). This solution provides
higher level of integration with Intel platforms, and a set of advanced capabilities. The Jefferson Peak
family includes two products:
JfP 2 a module with Wi-Fi-2x2 radio (2 Wi-Fi chains) and BT
JfP 1 A module with Wi-Fi 1x1 radio (single chain) and BT. For further details about the 1x1
version, please refer to the JfP1 EPS.
The product is designed to be part of the Intel
®
Cannon Lake and Gemini lake platforms, supporting
Microsoft* Windows* Threshold version as well as the Google* Chrome* OS and Linux*.
