Wireless Technology
 Wireless technology as a whole has had many advancements over the past few
years, most of which have been led by consumer demands for efficient and
convenient services.
 Furthermore, the improvements in computers system more so, computer chips has
facilitated the growth of mobile devices/gadgets.
 These gadgets have necessitated the need for wireless networks which has led to
the advances of wireless technologies as seen today.
 In the modern society, it's more convenient to have mobile systems as compared to
wired systems that minimise mobility and flexibility.
 Therefore, the advances seen in this technology will only grow with time in an
attempt to improve comfort and service delivery.
 In all, the world will continue to experience new technologies that are tailored for
wireless systems (Andrew, 2013).

Wireless HD
 A proprietary standard for transmitting high definition videos through wireless
connections.
 Also known as Ultra Gig, WirelessHD operates on a 7 GHz channel within the 60 GHz
frequency band.
 Its operation standard both for both lightly compressed and uncompressed signals to
be transmitted (video, audio and data signals).
 At the start of the technology, the first generation protocol was able to operate at a 4
Gbit/s data rate, a rate envisioned to increase with time.
Strengths
• Conveniences of wireless transmission (mobility, flexibility and scalability etc.).
• Facilitates the light compression of videos.
Weaknesses
• Many competing standards.
• It's very expensive (Morrison, 2016).
