Intel Remote Wake

Content delivery services continue to evolve as mobile products become more capable and digital media grows more pervasive and ubiquitous in every medium. The home PC has proven to be a vital component for media delivery and playback allowing consumers to build their ‘digital life’ in extremely innovative ways. 

Energy consumption has become a key topic worldwide, and consumer awareness around energy efficient computing is mixed. The problem facing many consumers who want to take advantage of innovative applications and services is whether or not to “leave the PC on’ or ‘turn the PC off”.

Pando and Intel have collaborated to build a simple, elegant and energy efficient content delivery solution that offers consumers more choice in how they can purchase and download their digital media.

Pando Networks was the first content delivery service to implement Intel’s Remote Wake capability into their core content delivery infrastructure. Now any content provider can leverage the Pando platform and its support for Intel Remote Wake technology. In addition to enhanced purchase and download options for consumers, PCs with Pando and Intel Remote Wake can deliver ‘real’ energy saving benefits.

Together, our unique software and hardware technologies reduce energy consumption by keeping a home PC in energy efficient sleep mode, while still giving consumers the ability to 'wake up‘ the PC from anywhere outside the home and download media content efficiently and securely.
