    People don’t seem to understand that this isn’t really aimed at casual web browsing. It’s basically a wireless alternative to thunderbolt.

    So take all of those crazy film cameras and data storage systems that rely on thunderbolt for decent performance… now get rid of the cable.

      Get rid of the cable and add heat

      The problem with adding high bandwidth wifi is that it adds quite a bit of heat to a device. That’s why high bandwidth wifi 6e devices and 10 gigabit Ethernet devices get quite warm. Many cameras already have a lot of heat problems because video sensors and processing already generates quite a bit of heat. Wireless always generates more heat than wired due to much higher amplification, transmit power, and demodulation requirements.

        Yes, now it does with the current tech. I’m sure you’ll agree we can make more efficient devices in the future and they will support the same standard as your router
