  • Page 4 Introduction Revolutionary N1 Wireless Technology with MIMO (N1 MIMO) Your.Belkin.N1.Wireless.Modem.Router.uses.a.new.smart-antenna. technology.called.Multiple.Input.Multiple.Output.(MIMO)..N1.MIMO. complies.with.the.IEEE.draft.802.11n.specification..It.increases. speed,.range,.reliability,.and.spectral.efficiency.for.wireless. networking.systems. The.element.that.makes.Belkin’s.N1.MIMO.technology.different. from.a.conventional.radio.is.the.use.of.multiple.antennas.and.two. simultaneous.data.streams.to.deliver.wireless.transfers.around.your. home.or.office..A.conventional.radio.uses.one.antenna.to.transmit. a.data.stream..Belkin’s.N1.MIMO,.on.the.other.hand,.uses.three. antennas..This.design.helps.combat.distortion.and.interference.. Belkin’s.N1.MIMO.is.multidimensional..It.builds.on.one-dimensional. smart-antenna.technology.by.simultaneously.transmitting.two.data. streams.through.the.same.channel,.which.increases. . wireless.capacity.. Another.element.that.enhances.Belkin’s.N1.MIMO.is.the.use.of. aggregation.as.specified.in.the.draft.802.11n.specification.. . By.shortening.the.space.between.packets.and.combining.multiple. smaller.packets.into.one.larger.packet,.Belkin’s.N1.MIMO.can. transmit.more.data.through.available.bandwidth.. Think.of.conventional.radio.transmission.as.a.two-lane.highway..The. speed.limit.governs.the.maximum.allowable.flow.of.traffic.through. that.lane..Compared.with.conventional.radios,.one-dimensional.smart. antenna.systems.help.move.traffic.through.that.lane.faster.and.more. reliably—analogous.to.a.four-lane.road.on.which.traffic.consistently. moves.at.a.rate.closer.to.the.speed.limit..Belkin’s.N1.MIMO.helps. traffic.move.at.the.speed.limit.and.opens.more.lanes—to.become.the. superhighway.in.this.example..The.rate.of.traffic.flow.is.multiplied.by. the.number.of.lanes.that.are.opened.
