| Just Say No to MIMO
I don't know who dreamed up the pseudo-engineering behind MIMO, but I'd like to see that person fall down a deep well. There's no need for multiple antennae for multiple channels, and you certainly can't re-use the same channel at such short distances. Same thing for antenna diversity. Having an antenna farm can be nice when it serves some good purpose. Marketing is not a good purpose.

| You can use MIMO on the same channel, as long as all antennas are exactly synchronized; it would even be beneficial for extending range, throughput, and/or reliability. I agree, using MIMO on multiple channels, is irresponsible and greedy. I don't know many people that would appreciate someone hogging/blocking all 4 lanes of an interstate highway. Hopefully, they will take similar considerations when using the RF highway. |
