802.11n MIMO WiFi: Highest throughput at range

Why 802.11n MIMO Technologies Required for Next Generation Real Time Video-Over-WiFi Applications?

Although 802.11a/b/g networks continue to be popular today, the next generation video-over-WiFi applications will require new 802.11n MIMO technologies to sustain signals over greater distances at higher data rates with increased reliability. By implementing innovative Maximum Likelihood(ML), Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) and Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) technologies, 802.11n MIMO devices provide the performance and reliability required to drive efficient WiFi links with the highest throughput at range.
