Overview

The Intel logo, "WP1 NGFF PCIe 4L E8", and "PB#G98682-001" is silkscreened on the card in the FCC photos.

The RF connectors used would appear to be MHF4.

Per the FCC test report...

The Intel Mobile Communications model 3160NGW is M.2 (Next Generation Form Factor) IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless network adapter module that supports 1x1 (SISO) operation and Bluetooth operation in Basic Rate, Enhanced Data Rate and Low Energy modes.
The card is sold under two different FCC ID numbers (see table below). The ID ending in "U" is intended to allow user install conditions and host systems must be provided with a BIOS lock feature that prevents installation of unauthorized devices.
