  In this paper I will discuss future synergies between the Japanese MAXI X-ray
all-sky monitor, to be placed on the International Space Station in 2009, and
the next-generation radio astronomy array LOFAR, currently under construction
in The Netherlands. The wide fields of view and multiple beams of LOFAR will
allow, in combination with MAXI, simultaneous all-sky monitoring of the sky in
both the X-ray and radio bands. Focussing on microquasars, X-ray binary jet
systems, I discuss how the combination of MAXI and LOFAR will help us to
further understand the accretion--outflow coupling in such systems.
