802.11N DEFINITION (continued): … Specification for wireless LAN (WLAN) communications intended to increase network speed and reliability and to extend the operating distance of wireless networks. Raw data throughput is expected to reach as much as 600 Mbps, or more than 10 times the throughput of 802.11g. 802.11n is based on MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology, which uses multiple antennas at both the source (transmitter) and the destination (receiver) to minimize errors and optimize data speed.Visit WhatIs.com - a knowledge exploration and self-education tool about information technology.
