AirPort Extreme Base Station (with modem and antenna port)
Apple's
AirPort Extreme wireless networking products lets you surf the Internet
from almost anywhere in your home or business, and enables schools to
provide Internet access to multiple students without installing
expensive cabling.
With AirPort Extreme-enabled Macintosh
systems, it's a snap to exchange files or play multiplayer games at
data transfer rates of up to 54 megabits per second. AirPort Extreme is
based on a new wireless draft specification called 802.11g 2. And
because AirPort Extreme uses radio waves for communication, it can even
work through walls.
If you want to create your own wireless
network in your home or business just add an AirPort Extreme Base
Station to communicate between your AirPort and AirPort Extreme-ready
systems and the Internet, without wires.
The AirPort Extreme
Base Station provides a wireless connection between Macintosh systems
with AirPort and AirPort Extreme Cards and your Internet connection. It
can be used in conjunction with an Ethernet connection (such as with a
cable modem, DSL modem, or Ethernet network) through the integrated
Ethernet port, or with a telephone line through a modem
.
The
AirPort Extreme Base Station also supports USB or Ethernet wireless
printer sharing. Just plug in a compatible USB or Ethernet printer and
with Mac OS X on your computer you can quickly and easily print. You
can use the new USB port to attach a USB printer or use the
10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN port to plug in an Ethernet printer directly
into the base station. Now you can share a really great printer with
everyone at home or in the office.
Using the new AirPort Extreme
Base Station, up to 50 users can work and play on the Internet
simultaneously up to 150 feet away from an Ethernet connection or a
phone line. And your new base station comes equipped with a built-in
firewall to protect sensitive data on your computer and the ability to
secure transmissions with support for 128-bit encryption. The AirPort
Extreme Base Station is compatible with AOL (USA only) Internet access
if AOL is your ISP. The base station also supports AOL parental
controls.
With the AirPort Extreme base station it is also
possible to manage the range of your wireless network. An external
antenna port is provided for you to attach an external antenna
(requires the base stations with external antenna port). There are two
types of antennas available: an omni-directional and a directional.
With these antennas you can extend the range of the AirPort Extreme
base station. There is also a software feature that allows you on
reduce the size of your wireless network, down to just a single room
for extra privacy.
