They would have to invent a new wireless protocol since none of them, as far as I know, are as fast as USB.

I guess I never really understood the attraction to wireless scope communication with the PC. You will still have to use cables for each channel you want to attach to a signal. So the only thing you are eliminating is the USB cable.

I just don't understand how eliminating this dependable data transfer and power supply would be any real advantage. Now you are going to have batteries that will run down, etc. And you still need to keep the scope module well away from underhood EMI, heat, and other hazards anyway. The USB cable can be 15 feet long if you want it to be....So, I just don't get it. Sure there is the coolness factor but at what cost....
