The new AirPort Extreme Base Station provides up to 50 connections at same time and offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of networks created with the earlier 802.11g standard.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification and is compatible with IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g.

The new AirPort Extreme Base Station requires Mac or PC with ethernet or wireless networking capability.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station features a simple, new design that is just 6.5 inches square and 1.3 inches tall, and a built-in USB port allows users to print wirelessly to a USB printer or turn any external USB hard drive into a shared drive so they can share files or backup valuable data from multiple computers on a network. New AirPort Utility software included with every AirPort Extreme makes it very easy to set up a secure, wireless network for up to 50 simultaneous users within minutes. Users can also set security restrictions, including Internet access limits on their childrens’ computers.

    The AirPort Extreme Base Station also includes:
  • 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking;
  • MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) smart antennas;
  • dual-band antennas for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies;
  • three 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports;
  • one 10/100 Ethernet WAN port;
  • one USB port;
  • Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA-2), 128-bit WEP encryption; and
  • a built-in NAT firewall.

Apple has put up a new page on 802.11 wireless technology. http://www.apple.com/wireless/80211/

You can also check if your Mac supports 802.11n from that page. ;-)
