The Effects of Interference on Video Over Wi-Fi

Overview Video transmission over Wi-Fi is becoming more important, in the residence for reasons of convenience, reduced installation expense, and mobility, and in the enterprise as video sees greater application in Webinars, corporate information distribution, and other possibilities. Video represents, however, perhaps the greatest challenge to performance on LANs of any form, whether wired or wireless. Video is both a large data object, and also subject to the constraints imposed by time-boundedness. It stands to reason, then, that interference could have a dramatic impact on video sent over a Wi-Fi connection.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: VoIP wins

I've connected to the internet via wired or Wi-Fi LANs in hotels, office buildings and restaurants. At last I could get online at airports, coffee shops, hotels and lobbies all over the planet - but at great expense.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Getting thinner fast

It also turns out that using a wired LAN connection is also a rare event in my life. So when my new machine does arrive it will also lack wired LAN and FireWire ports - and, most dramatic of all, no CD/DVD drive.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria
