Sonnet Introduces Aria Extreme-n Draft 802.11n Wireless Mini-PCIe Card

IRVINE, CA-- November 15, 2007-- Sonnet Technologies, a leader in upgrades
and useful accessories for Apple Mac desktop and notebook computers,
announces the introduction of the Aria Extreme-n 802.11n wireless mini-PCIe
card. This small form-factor card, measuring 2" x 1-1/8", delivers draft
802.11n wireless network connectivity to Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro,
iMac (Intel), Mac mini (Intel), and Windows notebook computers with an
available mini-PCIe slot. Sonnet delivers added value by including the
specialized tools and detailed installation instructions that enable
do-it-yourself installation for Mac mini, Mac Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Pro
users.

Aria Extreme-n adds 802.11n wireless connectivity to compatible Macs
without a wireless card, and upgrades systems originally sold with an
802.11g AirPort Extreme card; Aria Extreme-n mounts into the AirPort card
slot and connects to the computer's built-in antenna(s). 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.

802.11n networks can deliver up to five times the speed and twice the range
of 802.11g networks, the previous wireless networking standard. Sonnet's
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.
