Is your school ready to take advantage of wireless networking? 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.* Before you invest in the project, make sure that everything is set and in place. Apple's Wireless Site and Network Assessment gives you the ability to have an Apple expert review your site to ensure that the building is suitable for wireless networking before you purchase. This service will provide you with the information you need to be sure that your AirPort wireless network will perform as required when installed.
