Introduction

Revolutionary N1 Wireless Technology with MIMO (N1 MIMO) –Your Belkin
Vision wireless 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 technology, 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 technology is the use of
aggregation as specified in the draft 802.11n standard. By shortening the space
between packets and combining multiple smaller packets into one larger packet,
Belkin's N1 MIMO technology 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
technology 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.
Placement of your N1 Vision
Important Factors for Placement and Setup
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your
computer is to your N1 Vision. Typical indoor operating range
for wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet.
In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade
somewhat as the distance between your N1 Vision and connected
devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move
further from your N1 Vision, connection speed may decrease. Factors
that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network's
radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.
