The element that makes Belkin’s N 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 N

interference. Belkin’s N MIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-antenna

Revolutionary N+ Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)
Your Belkin N+ Wireless Router uses a new smart-antenna technology called Multiple Input
Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases
speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless networking systems.
