How New Long-Range Radios Will Change the Internet of Things

Any MU-MIMO technology in sight for these radio protocols? Would be a great way to potentially extend range and throughout if multiple spatial channels could be used on each frequency / radio channel for every pair of connected devices. If it could be done efficiently enough, it could also reduce congestion even in tight crowds for things like wearables by reducing interference.

I haven't seen anything using MIMO yet. Not sure how that would affect power usage. The closest thing now is that a key aspect of Ingenu's solution is receive diversity. All of their client radios require two antennas.
