IMEC demonstrates first 5GHz Wireless Network for true low-cost, low-power broadband and wireless systems

IMEC, Europe's leading independent nanoelectronics and nanotechnology research center, has achieved a milestone in research on smart MIMO (multiple input /multiple output) systems, which will enable optimal use of resources in wireless networks. IMEC's solution distinguishes itself from current multiple antenna techniques by optimizing multi-mode operation, including spatial transmission pre-processing. IMEC will demonstrate the technology as a solution for true low-cost, low-power broadband and wireless systems at the July 2004 IEEE802.11n standards meeting.
