AirPort is the cutting-edge wireless networking technology that lets you get on the Internet from anywhere in your home, school, or office--without cables, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware. And AirPort is fast: with a data rate of up to 11 Mbps, AirPort enables high-speed wireless communications within a radius of approximately 150 feet from a base station.
As thousands of Mac users have discovered, to their delight, AirPort lets you use your Mac for work, play, surfing the Web, or sending and receiving e-mail from just about anywhere.
Similar to the base station of your cordless telephone, the AirPort base station includes a 56K modem for your phone line, plus two Ethernet ports. AirPort is broadband ready. And because Apple designed the hardware and software--and designed them to work smoothly together--you'll find AirPort simple to set up and use.
AirPort is based on the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard and is WiFi certified for interoperability with other 802.11-compliant products (including PCs). That means you can use your AirPort card at thousands of wireless-enabled locations--including airports, coffee shops, and at least 90,000 hotel rooms in the U.S. alone.
If you're running a network of PC users, all you need is one AirPort-enabled Apple computer (iBook, PowerBook G4, iMac, or Power Mac G4) to set up your base of wireless operations. The AirPort base station comes with a handy 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector that can act as the hub of your cross-platform universe.
