The Air Mount Family
Extend the range and speed of your Airport Extreme
or Time Capsule Network.
When it comes to speed and
reliability, nothing beats the
Airport Extreme and Time Capsule
products from Apple. To get the
most out of either product, you
need the Air Mount series.
This innovative product allows you to mount your Airport Extreme base station or Time Capsule on the wall, the ceiling or virtually any vertical or horizontal surface- providing maximum clearance for superior range and speed as well as freeing up desk or shelf space.

Low-profile
design. As with other
H-Squared products, the Air Mount
utlizes a flexible design that is
sturdy yet unobtrusive. The slotted
grips effortlessly hold your
Airport Extreme or Time Capsule in
place and the hidden stop prevents
your base station from falling out.
The specially-formulated recyclable
acrylic looks like glass but is
twenty times stronger and will
provide a lifetime of service.
Mounts horizontally or
vertically. Depending on
your needs, the Air Mount and Air
Mount TC are flexible enough to
meet your demands. Whether it be
the ceiling, the wall, the attic,
or in the halls, the Air Mount
series is versatile enough to meet
your requirements. We include all
of the necessary mounting hardware
for most applications. There's even
an optional VESA screw kit for
mounting on the back of a monitor.
Precision-designed and
manufactured. Each and
every Air Mount series is
manufactured and quality-tested to
ensure a secure fit and a great
look. Like all H-Squared products,
we guarantee your satisfaction.
Light me up! Not using that
USB port on the back of the Airport
Extreme or Time Capsule? Choose the
optional USB backlighting kit and
light it up! The USB-powered clear,
bright LED provides years of
illumination at a fraction of the
cost of other lighting
techniques.

How does the Air Mount increase my wireless range and speed?
Like anything else with an
antenna, the higher the
antenna, the better the
reception. The reason is
simple. At higher elevations,
there's less objects for the
signal to travel through.
Since most of the things we
use on a regular basis are at
a height convenient for us,
having your base station at
the same height would mean
more objects for it to travel
through to get to your
computer. Each time the
signal is degrading along the
way which, in turn, affects
speed and range. How much is
dependent on what the objects
are made of. Metals, for
instance, have a significant
impact on signal degradation-
wood and sheetrock, somewhat
less. Mounting your Airport
Extreme or Time Capsule as
high as possible will reduce
signal degradation and
increase your wireless range.

Shouldn't Aiport Extreme/Time Capsule always be horizontal?
This was a common assumption
when the new Airport Extreme
(n) shipped in February of
2007. According to our tests
and the tests of Apple
itself, mounting the Airport
Extreme has no significant
impact on wireless range.
Can Time Capsule be mounted vertically or upside-down?
Yes! The drives used by Time
Capsule can be used in any
orientation. Other products
from Apple, such as the iMac,
use the same drives in
vertical orientation.
What about heat dissipation?
Heat dissipation is
especially critical for Time
Capsule. After studying the
design of the airflow and
confirming the details with
Apple, we're confident that
the design of Air Mount and
Air Mount TC will not
restrict or hinder airflow in
any way.
Does the Air Mount have security locking features?
The design of the Air Mount
allows you to mount your
Airport Extreme or Time
Capsule as high as possible-
thereby making it fairly
difficult to remove the
product without a ladder. In
the event that you need more
security that that, we
recommend securing the
Airport Extreme or Time
Capsule with the Kensington
key
lock kit available
from Apple.
