"We're making Tile's technology more accessible and simple through a

pre-installed software solution requiring no hardware, making it far more

accessible and easy to use," said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. "Our collaboration

with Intel to enable this software-only version of Tile, and with HP to be the

first OEM to integrate this capability into their products, is a significant

milestone in delivering peace of mind to IT departments and end-users alike."

Once activated through the Tile Windows app, EliteBook 800 Series and ZBook

Firefly users can take advantage of Tile features on the Tile mobile app to

find their laptop if nearby or far away. These features even work when the

device is in sleep, hibernate or soft off mode.

Whether working from home or preparing to head back into the office, the

ability to find your laptop is crucial, especially during these uncertain

times. Earlier this year, Tile found that nearly three fourths (72 percent)

said the ability to locate their lost or misplaced laptop would be very or

extremely valuable.

This marks Tile's first device integration with Intel after announcing a

collaboration effort earlier this year. The Tile and Intel teams are continuing

to work closely with PC manufacturers to determine the best Tile experience for

their users. In fact, in 2021 Tile will come pre-installed on select HP-11th

Gen Intel Core Platforms configured with Intel wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) WLAN cards and

integrated Intel Bluetooth.

"By integrating Tile capabilities into our Wi-Fi / Bluetooth solutions for

Intel PC platforms, we've made it extremely easy for our PC partners to

activate Tile and offer this feature to users," said Eric McLaughlin, Vice

President Client Computing Group and GM Wireless Solutions Group at Intel.

Additional Tile partners include Skullcandy, Comcast, Bose and Herschel among

others. Today, virtually any product can be Tile-enabled. Learn more at
