Francis St. Holder stays in touch with the advancements of wireless technology so that he can offer more comprehensive solutions to all of his clients through his work at ITSCI.
- WiGig—High-speed wireless service. In late 2016, the new Wi-Fi protocol will be released. Theoretically, WiGig, as it has been dubbed, will allow connection speeds of up to 10 GBps using 60GHz radio band. Right now, most Wi-Fi connections allow 1GBps using the 40GHz radio band. This will allow businesses to run smoother and faster.
- Bluetooth Smart. Bluetooth technology today constantly sends a signal, which drains power from wireless devices. New Bluetooth Smart technology will allow the same speeds and range of current Bluetooth connections, but will no longer require a signal to be broadcasted constantly, saving power and increasing efficiency.
- Apple iBeacon. One of the latest new devices developed by Apple is the iBeacon, which uses Bluetooth Smart technology in a retail setting to transmit data through a signal to the iPhone and iPad. This will allow customers to receive discounts and coupons on their phone when they simply walk past an item on retail shelves. It can also provide information on specific products to customers walking by.
- Cisco Intelligent Proximity. This new device is particularly exciting for Francis St. Holder and other Information Technology executives like him because it allows those who use high-definition videoconferencing using Cisco Systems telepresence gear to connect automatically using their iOS or Android device as soon as they walk into a room, creating more streamlined videoconferences and added efficiency.
- Wireless technologies for the car. Soon you’ll be able to safely use your wireless technology to organize any number of things on the go. The 2015 Audi A3 and the 2015 Chevy Impala already both feature fast wireless data access for users, and more are sure to add this feature in coming years.
