The AirPort Card! Apple's AirPort wireless networking technology 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-enabled Macintosh systems, it's a snap to exchange files or play multiplayer games at data transfer rates of up to 11 megabits per second. And because AirPort uses radio waves for communication, it can even work through walls. Since AirPort antennas are built into all new computers from Apple, all you need to add is an internal AirPort Card for each AirPort Card-ready system you want to bring onto your wireless network, and an AirPort Extreme Base Station. The AirPort Extreme Base Station is compatible with all versions of AirPort.
