1.3 Wireless docking
The main use of Intel WiGig at product launch is wireless docking in conjunction with the Maple Peak
SNK.
Wireless docking generally occurs when the user is working 2–4 feet from the display(s). The user
experiences the same kind of responsiveness as operating a workstation/desktop.
1.3.1 “Place to Dock, Snap to Go” experience
Wireless docking is designed to minimize user actions. After the initial WPS-based pairing, the typical
user is able to auto-dock, meaning the device automatically connects to the dock and peripheral when
in range of the dock. In other words, by the time the device is on the desk, it is already docked.
Undocking is as simple, allowing the user to grab the device and walk away.
1.3.2 Wireless Docking (WiDock) and Wireless Display (WiDi)
WiDock differs from other models, such as Miracast* or Intel
®
Wireless Display, in which the user is
further from the screen (such as on the couch or in a conference room), and is focused on content
consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) rather than productivity or
content creation.
