Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
NSK-11NP10-2 employs the most advanced wireless networking
technology, IEEE802.11n. By using the reflection signal, 802.11n's
“Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology increases the range and
reduces “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. Unlike ordinary
wireless networking of 802.11b/g standards that are confused by
wireless reflections, MIMO can actually use these reflections to increase
four times transmission range of 802.11g products. Besides, when both
ends of the wireless link are 802.11n products, MIMO technology can
utilize twice radio band to increase three times transmission speed of
ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can comply with backwards
802.11b/802.11g standards.
1.1 Feature
