Now you can make sure that your AirPort wireless network is set up and configured quickly and properly. With Apple AirPort Network Installation, your users get immediate productivity benefits from this exciting new technology, and you get the assurance of a reliable installation by an expert Apple technical representative. Each AirPort Network Installation purchases covers one AirPort Base Station and up to six client systems.

Apple’s AirPort wireless networking technology provides high-speed shared Internet access without wires. AirPort-equipped computers can communicate up to 150 feet away from an AirPort Base Station—even through walls—so your wireless Internet access can extend across several classrooms and even outdoors.* Students and teachers can also use AirPort-equipped computers to communicate directly with each other—a great tool for collaboration and file sharing. With AirPort, learning takes place where it needs to, not just where Ethernet cable is located.
