Apple Delivers AirPort Extreme
802.11g Wireless Networking
Five Times the Data Rate, Wireless Bridging &
USB Printer Sharing
MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO—January 7, 2003— Apple® today announced
AirPort® Extreme, the next generation of Wi-Fi wireless networking
technology based on the new ultra-fast 802.11g standard. With speeds up to
54 Mbps, AirPort Extreme delivers almost five times the data rate of
today’s 802.11b based products, yet is fully compatible with the millions
of 802.11b Wi-Fi devices around the world. Starting at just $199 (US), the
new AirPort Extreme Base Stations offer 54 Mbps data rates for up to 50
users, wireless bridging to extend the range beyond just one base station,
and USB printer sharing to allow multiple users to wirelessly share USB
printers connected directly to the base station*.
“Apple was the first computer company to ship products based on 802.11b
when it launched AirPort in 1999, kick-starting the entire Wi-Fi wireless
revolution,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Today we’re doing it again by
launching AirPort Extreme, the next generation of wireless products based
on 802.11g that runs at 54 Mbps, yet is fully compatible with the millions
of 802.11b Wi-Fi devices and Hot Spots around the world.”
AirPort Extreme, based on the new 802.11g wireless standard, operates at
up to 54 Mbps—up to five times faster than current Wi-Fi technology.
AirPort Extreme works with the installed base of 802.11b devices,
including public Hot Spots and Wi-Fi certified 802.11b Windows solutions.
AirPort Extreme continues to be the only wireless solution to support
dial-up access to America Online and is also compatible with Cisco’s LEAP
security**. With up to 50 users per base station, AirPort Extreme supports
many more users than typical base stations.
AirPort Extreme provides the flexibility and power to service home, school
and institutional networking needs. In addition to increased speed, both
of the AirPort Extreme Base Stations offer new features such as a USB port
for low-cost wireless USB printer sharing and a second 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet port for connections to fast LANs and DSL or cable modems.
Education campuses and other institutions can take advantage of new
features such as a software placement utility for optimal base station
location, a software power control that lets administrators adjust the
wireless network range to fit a specific area and optional range-extending
omni-directional and directional antennas.
A new wireless bridging feature lets customers easily and inexpensively
extend the range of a wired network by allowing one AirPort Extreme Base
Station on a LAN to “bridge” with up to four additional AirPort Extreme
Base Stations, eliminating the need to pull additional cables underground
and into buildings.
With Mac OS X version 10.2 “Jaguar” and built-in support for 802.11g, it’s
never been easier to go wireless. AirPort Extreme with Apple’s Rendezvous™
technology enables iChat among networked Macs and can also be used to
automatically discover and deploy other Rendezvous-enabled devices on the
network, such as printers, without complicated set up. AirPort Extreme
offers the latest security features including built-in Firewall and
128-bit encryption.
