FAQ's

What is MIMO?

MIMO stands for Multiple Input Multiple Output where the transmitter has multiple transmitting antennas and the receiver has multiple receiving antennas.

What is MIMO Diversity?

MIMO Diversity is a technique to improve the reliability of the system, where transmitter sends the data at different spatial propagation paths using the Spatial Diversity principles.

What is MIMO Spatial Multiplexing (SMUX)?

MIMO Spatial Multiplexing is using a special transmission technique transmitting data into independent channels separated by space. This technique sends multiple data streams through multiple paths towards the receiver increasing capacity.
