MacBook Pro 802.11 b/g/n Transceiver Express Card
Description
The ExpressCard is a great way for MacBook Pro users to update their computers to the new 802.11 n draft! This means full compatibility with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station. The ExpressCard brings the 802.11n draft which has a high speed yield of 300 mbit/second (far better than the 802.11g standard). Additionally the range is increased up to 3 times the range of 802.11 g.
This is all thanks to improvements over the previous standard and MIMO technology. MIMO is Multi-Input Multi-Output, meaning both the Base Station (or Router) and the Mac (or PC) must have multiple antennas to employ something called “spatial-multiplexing”. This is most important in the speed department, think of it as having a 4 lane highway instead of a 2 lane highway, and having plenty of traffic for the former.
The computer industry as a whole is embracing this new draft proposal, unsurprisingly Apple is at the forefront by including it in their new Base Station.
Also keep in mind that 802.11 b/g Macs will still work with your new Base Station, with the caveat that the Base Station is forced to adhere all connected Macs to the lowest standard on the network. This is exactly why having all older Macs (and PCs) up to the 802.11 n standard is the way to go.
Features
Good for bringing your Mac up to the new wireless specification, 802.11 n.
802.11 n is 5 times as fast as 802.11 g and works 3 times further away.*
*Please note, for full 802.11 N speed, all active wireless devices must be 802.11 N Draft 2.0 compliant
