Intel has made the decision to discontinue marketing and development of Intel® WiDi and Intel® Pro WiDi wireless display applications and related receiver certification program effective immediately.
Now that the Miracast standard is natively supported in the Windows 8.1 & 10 operating system for wireless display capabilities with strong user experience, Intel is redirecting its resources and focus to future areas of growth.
Q&A:
