Presenting AirPort Express.
AirPort Express with AirTunes is an incredible wireless product that allows you to play iTunes music over your wireless network to your home stereo or powered speakers. It also allows you to share both a broadband Internet connection for up to 10 users and a USB printer1. If you already have wireless at home, powered by an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, you can easily extend the range of your wireless network by connecting a second AirPort Express to it. AirPort Express has a small unique design made for life on the go. There are no separate power supplies or cables required, making it easy and convenient to take with you. AirPort Express is also designed to fully support both Mac and PC users.

AirTunes Unleashes Your Music
Using the new AirTunes feature, you can play your iTunes music wirelessly from your computer to any room where you want to entertain, listen, or relax. Simply connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers and iTunes 4.6 automatically detects that remote speakers are available. Anything that can be played on iTunes can be played on the remote speakers -- including your music library, CDs, iTunes Music Store previews, iTunes radio, as well as audiobooks.

With multiple AirPort Express base stations, customers can redirect their music stream to different rooms around the house by simply selecting the appropriate remote speakers from a pop-up menu in iTunes.

With its built-in combination analog and digital audio connector, AirPort Express can be connected to conventional powered analog speaker systems or the latest digital 5.1 surround sound systems. AirTunes uses the Apple Lossless Encoder to play CD quality music over the air.

Connect Wirelessly
No matter how well designed your home is, chances are that it doesn’t have broadband connection everywhere you’d like to use a computer. Thanks to AirPort Express, you can solve that problem without running cables all over your house or having to wait until the Internet connection is available. An AirPort Express Base Station allows you and your family to share a single Internet connection to surf the web, access email, share files, or enjoy multiplayer games throughout your house. With a range of up to 150 feet in all directions from the base station, AirPort Express lets you take your computer where you want, not just where there’s a DSL phone jack or network cable. AirPort Express uses the 802.11g wireless standard, which provides data rates up to 54 Mbps so everyone in your home who has a Mac or Windows computer with an AirPort or compatible card can access the Internet through your wireless network.

Share a Single Printer - Wirelessly
The AirPort Express Base Station delivers cost-effective printing for multiple users by making it possible to share a USB printer wirelessly. Just connect a printer to the USB port, and it instantly becomes available to all the users on your network. No more buying extra printers, moving a printer from room to room, emailing files to the one computer that’s connected to the printer, or running expensive, unsightly cables.

Extend Your Network
Now with AirPort Express it is easier than ever to extend the range of your wireless network. If you find that in the farthest corners of your home – like the kitchen or upstairs bedroom – you are at the edge of your wireless coverage it is possible to setup an AirPort Express Base Station to connect to your existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wireless network. Once setup AirPort Express can be moved anywhere in the house. Extending your network is truly a wireless feature that requires no wires whatsoever. All you need to do is plug in AirPort Express, and so long as it is in range of the other base station re-connect to your network. Now web surfing in a hammock in the backyard has never been easier.

AirPort Express has a small unique design made for life on the go. There are no separate power supplies or cables required, making it easy and convenient to take with you. It will slip into your computer bag, carry-on bag, backpack, purse, or even your pocket. Along with its small design, AirPort Express allows the user to create up to five different profiles. Each profile represents the settings for a particular location. So a user can have their home settings as a profile, then go to a hotel and setup a profile there, and when they get back home they can simply re-select their home profile and be up and running.

AirPort Express is simple to set up and use. It has built-in intelligence to determine what the user wants to do with the product based on what cables are plugged in. Using this intelligence the customer is only asked the right questions to setup up their network, making AirPort Express the easiest to use wireless product.

AirPort Express supports multiple security options, including WPA and WEP, to easily protect your wireless network with the appropriate level of security necessary to meet your needs.
