Claim 0:
1. A wireless communication system comprising
a control station including
a communication interface for interacting with a user;
a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver utilizing software-defined controls to provide an application-specific operating frequency band and an application-specific channel size selected for a particular industrial application, the MIMO transceiver further configured to modify selected operating parameters associated with standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 series to optimize performance for the particular industrial application, a group of IEEE 802.11 series standards operating parameters available for modification including at least: transmission power, receiver sensitivity, network architecture, communication range, acknowledge LACK timing window; and
a MIMO antenna configuration coupled to the MIMO transceiver; and

at least one industrial device including
a MIMO antenna configuration;
a MIMO transceiver utilizing software-defined controls to match the characteristics of the control station MIMO transceiver;
a processor responsive to signals received by the MIMO transceiver for determining commands associated with the industrial device; and
a device controller, responsive to the processor, configured to generate instructions for initiating activities of the at least one industrial device and receiving data collected by the industrial device in response to the commands determined by the processor, wherein the industrial device MIMO transceiver is further configured to transmit the collected data to the control station.
