WIRELESS NEWS: The MIMO Wireless Opportunity

By Daily Wireless Updates, Power by Cogni360

Daily Wireless News & Updates.- The MIMO technology at the heart of 802.11n is more complex than any technology ever attempted in wireless, and there is much work to be done to create a stable and final draft of the IEEE standard. Analysts forecast the market for MIMO to reach $1 billion in 2007, in large part due to the industry push to standardize MIMO Wi-Fi technology through the 802.11n standard. The consumer market today can experience the benefits of MIMO-powered wireless networks through Wi-Fi certified 802.11b/g and 802.11a/g compliant products from leading providers such as Linksys, Netgear, Buffalo, Belkin, Corega, and others. Because these products are Wi-Fi Alliance certified for interoperability, they are guaranteed to work with 802.11n products shipped in the future.

Years have been invested in demonstrating and evangelizing MIMO technology to gain its acceptance by the industry. However, those closely involved will agree that the surface has just been scratched in terms of the opportunity presented by MIMO. MIMO-based products are bringing a new level of connectivity to millions of consumers, and the technology--with the ratification of a final draft of the 802.11n standard--will form an essential building block of the wireless future. This industry is truly poised to explode once the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance complete the standardization and certification process. For more telecom news go to: Telecommunicate and Daily WiFi News.
