6 Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide
What is Intel Smart Connect Technology?
Smart Connect is a feature that periodically wakes the system from the
Windows sleep state to refresh email or social networking applications. When
the system is equipped with specific wireless devices, it can detect the
presence of known networks while asleep, waking only when connectivity is
available (this feature is called Net Detect).
When properly equipped with specific wireless devices, Smart Connect can
also provide quick internet connection readiness by keeping wireless devices
active in a low-power mode during sleep (this feature is called Quick
Connect). Smart Connect may be combined with Rapid Start on some
systems to help reduce power consumption while still keeping email and
other application data current.
