You are late to the party, Apple.

NCR has had its WaveLan out since last year.  It operates spread
spectrum in the 908-928 MHz band at a 2M data rate with DES encoding
for security.  Rf power is two watts and with small gain antenna
distances of five miles between nodes is easily attained.  I think it
lists for $1390 a node, installs in any IBM compatable, and is Netware
compatable.
