Fact: A laptop is stolen every 53 seconds, while 12,000 laptops disappear every week from U.S. airports alone. Of all lost laptops, 46% had confidential data and no encryption.
Giving users access to corporate data and applications through remote laptops boosts productivity, but misplaced laptops can leave IT vulnerable to hackers. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) is built into laptop hardware, helping IT administrators outwit thieves, even when they attempt to reimage the OS, change the boot order, or install a new hard drive.
When laptops with Intel Anti-Theft Technology become lost or stolen, they can be remotely disabled. If the laptop is recovered, it can be quickly reactivated to normal operation.
Intel AT is available on select 2nd generation Intel® Core™ and 2nd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family-based laptops when activated with a service subscription from an Intel AT-enabled service.

New Intel® AT features take advantage of 3G networks
With Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT), IT administrators can now use encrypted SMS messages over a 3G network to send a poison pill, remotely unlock a recovered laptop quickly, or direct the system to send location information (GPS coordinates) back to the central server:
Poison pill delivery via an encrypted SMS message over a 3G network. 3G connections can occur regardless of the state of the OS, via a direct hardware link between Intel AT and the 3G module.
Remote unlock via an encrypted SMS message over a 3G network. This lets IT reactivate the laptop within minutes of recovering the PC.
Location beaconing. Intel AT can now transmit GPS coordinates to the central server if the system is equipped with a supported 3G module.1
