New AirPort Base Station features Power over Ethernet

Apple quietly rolled out a new AirPort Extreme Base Station model today, featuring Power over Ethernet and UL 2043 certification. Power over Ethernet is based on the IEEE 802.3af standard and allows the base station to both receive data and power from an ethernet cable, greatly simplifying the implementation of base stations in remote areas. Additionally, the new base station can be deployed in air-handling spaces, such as above ceiling tiles, as it conforms with the UL 2043 safety standard from the Underwriters Laboratories. The Base Station ships with the new AirPort Management Tools 1.0--AirPort Client Monitor and AirPort Management Utility, two applications designed to ease campus-wide wireless management. It is available from the Apple Store for $250 with an estimated ship date of 1-3 days.

This is very cool... single cable goes for a long way to a cable-free environment!
