Intel’s new computers have a new component that wake up the PC up from their power-saving sate when they receive a phone call over the Internet. According to Intel ” the new technology will let computers automatically return to their full mode when a phone call comes in. As you pro bably know, the current computers have to to be fully awake with full functions to receive a phone call.
The component will turn and activate its microphone and speakers to alert the owner about the phone call, then it connect the call. “This certainly helps the PC become a much better center of communications in the home,” said Trevor Healy, chief executive of Jajah, which will be the first Internet telephone company to utilize the feature.
Intel is trying to supply Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co with the technology, but until now the component will be used in smaller computer manufacturers. The first Intel motherboards with the Remote Wake capability will ship in the next month, said Joe Van De Water, Intel director of consumer-product marketing.
The four initial Remote Wake motherboards will be for desktop computers and will need an Internet connection via Ethernet cable, as Wi-Fi doesn’t work in sleep mode.
