Abstract
A portable medical device comprises an omnidirectional antenna; a data interface configured to receive medical video data; and a controller configured to operate in a predetermined area of reception within a health care facility with respect to a transceiver and configured to use ultra wideband communications to transmit data to the transceiver at a rate greater than about 100 MB/s with a spectral power density below a predetermined level. The transceiver is configured to provide the predetermined area of reception using a high grain antenna and is configured to use ultra wideband communications to transmit data to the first transceiver at a rate less than about 100 MB/s with a spectral power density below the predetermined level.
