MIDP
Short for Mobile Information Device Profile. MIDP is a set of J2ME APIs that define how software applications interface with cellular phones and two-way pagers.
Applications conforming to this standard are called MIDlets.
Companies that have worked on the MIDP include Ericsson, NEC, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Palm Computing, Research In Motion (RIM), DoCoMo, LG TeleCom, Samsung and Motorola.

- MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
Short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a specification for formatting non-ASCII messages so that they can be sent over the Internet. Many e-mail clients now support MIME, which enables them to send and receive graphics, audio, and video files via the Internet mail system. In addition, MIME supports messages in character sets other than ASCII. […]
- MIMO
Acronym for multiple-in, multiple-out. MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) takes advantage of multiplexing to increase wireless bandwidth and range. MIMO algorithms send information out over two or more antennas and the information is received via multiple antennas as well. On normal radio, multiplexing would cause interference, but MIMO uses the additional pathways to transmit more information and […]
