Achieving 1Gbps

-5.10.2 MIMO: A typical MIMO system makes use of two or four paths, which requires two or four antennas respectively. In current systems, antenna designs are used which already incorporate two antennas to pick up horizontally and vertically polarized signals created by reflection and refraction to counter the multipath fading effect (polarized diversity).

-WiMAG and 3G LTE (Long Term Evolution) face the same hurdles, and are not imcompatible, SDR handsets might use both to advantage
