Time Capsule
A leap forward for backup.
Time Capsule is a revolutionary backup appliance that can automatically back up everything on your Mac wirelessly. It works with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard to give you constant, behind-the-scenes protection. Time Capsule is also a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi base station with simultaneous dual-band support and up to 50 percent better performance and up to 25 percent better range than the previous generation.1 It lets you easily share your broadband Internet connection, printer, hard drive, and more. You can even set up a separate Wi-Fi network for your guests.
