Aria Extreme-n uses Mac OS X's AirPort drivers and configuration tools, configuration is completed in a few simple steps. Aria Extreme-n is backward compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g routers and other equipment.

Sonnet'ss Aria Extreme-n can connect up to three antennas, depending on computer configuration, to maximize its performance with 802.11n routers that also feature multiple radios and antennas. 802.11n devices utilize MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology that enables multiple concurrent data stream transmission, and provides enough bandwidth to allow simultaneous high-speed Internet access, HD video streaming, large file transferring, VoIP telephony, and more. Aria Extreme-n supports AES, TKIP, WEP, and WPA2 encryption for secure network configuration, so you can work wirelessly with confidence.
