Further, using a wireless interface allows the phone to be mechanically decoupled from Alice Camera while still acting as the viewfinder and control interface, opening up novel usage scenarios. In photography communities WiFi has developed a reputation for being slow and unreliable which is not unjustified, however Alice Camera integrates modern 5GHz IEEE 802.11ac WiFi hardware with a maximum theoretical bandwidth of over 1Gbit/s, closer in specification to the WiFi hardware found in modern smartphones rather than a typical entry-level DSLR or mirrorless camera. This enables a responsive and seamless user experience.
