    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.

          And the external wireless data transfer pack can be connected to the camera by a long thin piece of metal. Maybe we could call it a “cord”. And why stop there, it could be disconnected from the camera when you’re not transferring data.
