Which scenario illustrates a dynamic wireless connection in telemedicine equipment?

Dynamic wireless connectivity means the device stays connected by switching among available wireless networks as conditions change, so the session remains stable even as you move or as signal quality fluctuates. The telemedicine cart that connects to different routers to maintain the best signal demonstrates this roaming behavior: it automatically selects the strongest or least congested network path to keep the video and audio flowing, reducing drops and latency during a telehealth session. In contrast, a USB tethered link is a fixed wired connection to a laptop, which doesn’t adapt to changing wireless conditions. A fixed Ethernet connection to a single switch is also non‑dynamic and static. A satellite-only link with no handoff provides a single path with no opportunity to switch networks as you move, so it isn’t dynamic either.
