Apple Released Third AirPort Extreme Base Station Model with Power over Ethernet

The new AirPort Extreme Base Station allows one to provide power through the ethernet cable so no AC adapter is needed at or near the location of the Base Station. This is very helpful for placing Base Stations in odd places where there is no power like in air handling passageways, ceilings or out in the middle of large rooms. The new Base Station also meets UL2043 safety standards for placing it in ceilings and air handling systems. It has an external antenna port but no modem and sells for $249.
