Beamforming complements MIMO to optimize signal quality and focused transmission further. The system employs multiple antennas to electronically concentrate the signal in a particular direction, akin to a spotlight, aimed at the intended recipient.By employing a focused strategy, this method minimizes the transmission of signals and the disruption caused by external devices or barriers. MIMO and beamforming can collaborate to establish distinct "spatial channels" for each user, optimizing signal intensity for individual devices.The combination of MIMO and OFDM is highly effective due to the ability of MIMO to generate multiple data streams, which can be efficiently allocated across the subcarriers in OFDM. This significantly improves the rate at which data is processed and decreases the occurrence of mistakes.

MIMO works together with other wireless technologies like beamforming and OFDM to create a more robust and efficient data transmission system. MIMO's multiple data streams can be efficiently distributed across the numerous subcarriers created by OFDM. This allows for faster data transmission and reduces the chances of errors.
