Today Apple updated their Airport Express mobile base station to support 802.11n.
The new base station from Apple will be the smallest station that supports 802.11n and it weighs only 6.7 ounces. The Airport Express Mobile base station plugs directly into a wall socket, to give you a wireless connection where ever you need it.
“Apple is leading the way with a broad range of innovative 802.11n base stations for almost any wireless networking need,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “From the small and portable AirPort Express, to AirPort Extreme for workgroups of up to 50 users and the new Time Capsule for automated backups, Apple customers now have more great ways to extend their wireless networks with 802.11n.”
The Airport Express Mobile base station supports up to 10 users simultaneously. Users can share a printer wirelessly that is connected to the USB port. Apple offers an AirPort Utility that provides easy step-by-step instructions for setting up and configuring AirPort Express. AirPort Express also has support for Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2), 128-bit WEP encryption and a built-in firewall. Apple now includes 802.11n as standard in its entire line of AirPort base stations and Mac notebooks.
The new base stations are available from store.apple.com and at Apple stores. The unit will retail for $99 USD.
