New 2011 iMacs Can Reach Wi-Fi Speeds of 450 Mbits/s

Similar to the new MacBook Pros, the new 2011 iMac can reach Wi-Fi speeds of 450 Mbits/s, according to HardMac.

It seems that Apple seeks to standardize this data flow. Thus, the new iMac is also compatible with the 450 Mbits/s. For that, Apple changed their Airport card and also installed 3 antennas (instead of 2 before), something indispensabie to be able simultaneously to use 3 channels of 150 Mbits/s.

HardMac notes that to achieve such speeds you need a compatible base station (ie Airport Extreme, Time Capsule) running 802.11n on 5GHz with widened channels enabled.
