Docking stations enable users to connect their portable devices to a set of peripherals through a simple connection. With the help of docking stations, portable devices such as laptops, hard drives, and mobile devices are connected to various peripherals such as monitors, speakers, mouse, and others without the need for multiple cables. Rising demand for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks is anticipated to generate high demand for docking stations in near future. In the past few years, several developments in the docking station market occurred including the release of wireless options. For instance, Dell Wireless Dock D5000 can connect to a keyboard, two monitors, USB devices, gigabit Ethernet, various hard drives, and others. It was the first docking station to provide wireless gigabit (WiGig), which uses the 60 GHz frequency band to allow a more powerful transmission than traditional Wi-Fi.
