Product(s) Description ORiNOCO® AP-800 An indoor 802.
Introduction 1.3 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output ORiNOCO® Access Point devices support Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitting end and receiving end to improve communication performance. The underlying technology of these access point radio(s) are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multipath problems.
