Take Wireless Networking to the Extreme! You’ve experienced the freedom and satisfaction of connecting to the Internet wirelessly, but now is the time to skip to the next generation in WiFi—Sonnet’s Aria™ Extreme N will help get you there! This little card (just 2" x 1-1/8") delivers 802.11n wireless network connectivity to Mac Pro, MacBook®, MacBook Pro, iMac® (Intel), Mac mini (Intel), and Windows® notebook computers with an available mini-PCIe slot. How much faster and farther can it go? Connected to an 802.11n router like the AirPort® Extreme Base Station with 802.11n, you’ll experience data transfers up to five times as fast, and at up to twice the range offered by 802.11g networks(1), the previous wireless networking standard! Aria Extreme N adds 802.11n wireless connectivity to compatible Macs without a wireless card, and upgrades systems originally sold with an 802.11g AirPort Extreme card. Sonnet delivers added value by including the specialized tools and detailed installation instructions that enable do-it-yourself installation(2) for Mac mini, Mac Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Pro users.
802.11n network can deliver up to five times the speed and twice the range of 802.11g network. |
