AirPort Extreme is the next-generation wireless networking
solution from Apple. Based on a new high-speed wireless technology called
802.11g, it enables you to achieve data rates nearly 5 times faster than the
original AirPort. You can connect to the Internet or to other computers without
wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware from almost
anywhere in your home, classroom, or business.
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.
Every AirPort Extreme-enabled Mac has antennas built in
and optimally placed, much like a mobile phone, to provide the best possible
wireless performance. And because AirPort Extreme uses radio waves for
communication, it can even work through walls.
With an AirPort Extreme-enabled PowerBook G4, you’re ready
to start enjoying the benefits of wireless networking—not just at home, but
also at cafes, hotels, airports, and other businesses and public buildings
around the world that have implemented 802.11b “hot spots.”
To get the full speed benefits of the 802.11g-based
AirPort Extreme Card in your Apple computer, you’ll want to use it with an
AirPort Extreme Base Station. But since the AirPort Extreme Card is compatible
with 802.11b, you can use any AirPort Base Station or other Wi-Fi certified
802.11b access point without any hassles; you don’t need to change any hardware
or software settings. Everything is automatic.
To create your own wireless network in your home or
business, just add an AirPort Extreme Base Station. This will allow you to
communicate between AirPort-enabled computers, AirPort Extreme-enabled
computers, Windows PCs with Wi-Fi certified 802.11b cards, and the AirPort
Extreme Base Station and share access to the Internet, without wires.
