The first thing that catches your eye – a “towering” new Time Capsule. Design model 2013 is entirely different from the previous generation. If the previous wireless storage cabinets were flat and low, but now the area occupied on the surface of the table, significantly reduced – by 75%, but up Time Capsule stretched quite noticeable. Its height is 168 mm.
Except minimalist design does not call out – absolutely no unnecessary elements on the body is not found.

The main innovation AirPort Time Capsule 2013 is support mode 802.11ac, which can provide data rates up to 1200 MB / c with built-in router hard drive capacity of 2 or 3 TB on a compatible device. In this mode, the router uses a frequency of 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz enabled for data transmission via 802.11n. Like the previous Time Capsule, the updated model is broadcast in two frequency bands.
