Ripcord2™ Applications
Once devices are set free of their wired tethers, new models arise that simplify usage and create opportunities for new revenue streams. Wireless USB connectivity on a mobile device can remove connectors, remove cables and allow devices to have high bandwidth communication with other devices. They can share media, music, photos or info. Operators can generate revenue from sharing services and sell movies and music downloads.
