AirPort Express is a simplified and compact version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station. It supports up to 10 users and includes a feature called AirTunes. It does not replace the AirPort Extreme Base Station. Introduced by Apple on June 7, 2004, it includes an analog/optical mini-audio output jack, a USB port for remote printing, and a single Ethernet port. An updated version supporting the faster 802.11n draft specification and operating in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands was released on March 17, 2008, with almost identical features.

In June 2004, Apple released AirPort Express, a scaled-down version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station with AirTunes support. AirTunes allowed iTunes music to be streamed wirelessly to a hi-fi system. This AirPort Express base station was very compact, supporting up to 10 connections, and while it lacked standard Ethernet ports (having only one), it featured an analog/optical digital audio jack. In Japan, it was known as AirMac due to trademark issues.

The original model, simply called the AirPort Card, was a rebranded Lucent WaveLAN Gold PC card with a modified case that lacked an integrated antenna. It was designed to be user-installable. This modification prevented it from being used directly in a generic PCMCIA slot (making it much cheaper than the official WaveLAN Gold card at the time). Using it in slot-loading iMacs required an AirPort Card Adapter.

In 1999, Apple partnered with Lucent Technologies to release AirPort, a new technology launched alongside the original iBook. It was a wireless LAN network supporting speeds up to 11 Mbps (faster than 10Base-T Ethernet). The base station was essentially an Ethernet hub and modem router used to share an internet connection among Macs on an AirPort wireless network.
