In one example embodiment, a transceiver module may include a local network interface and a controller that may receive a client control signal from a client device over a wireless local area network via the local network interface, transmit a media control signal based on the client control signal to a media device, receive media data based on the media control signal from the media device, and transmit to the client device over the wireless local area network via the local network interface client data based on the media data and a low-latency compression technique. The receipt of the media data and transmission of the client data may be accomplished with substantially no detectable latency. Additional embodiments are also provided. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A transceiver for streaming, comprising: a data port communicatively coupled to a hosting service for receiving video content that is uncompressed from the hosting service; an encoder for encoding the video content that is uncompressed to generate encoded video content; and a local network interface communicatively coupled to a client device for streaming the encoded video content to the client device through a communication network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, wherein the communication network comprises a wireless local network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, wherein the data port is directly coupled to the hosting service. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, wherein the data port is coupled to the hosting service through a wired connection. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, wherein the data port is coupled to the hosting service through a wireless connection. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, further comprising: a controller for establishing a communication interface between the transceiver and the hosting service, wherein the hosting service is configured for generating the video content by executing an application responsive to user input associated with a user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The transceiver of claim 6, wherein the network interface includes: a second data port communicatively coupled to the client device for receiving a control signal as the user input. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The transceiver of claim 7, further comprising: a third data port communicatively coupled to the hosting service for forwarding the control signal for purposes of executing the application. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The transceiver module of claim 7, wherein the data port is bi-directional and is configured for forwarding the control signal for purposes of executing the application. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The transceiver of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured for establishing a second communication interface between the transceiver and the client device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The transceiver of claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to translate a control signal received from the client device as the user input to a format compatible for execution of the gaming application. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, wherein the local network interface includes: a second data port communicatively coupled to the client device through the communication network for streaming the encoded video content. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The transceiver of claim 1, further comprising: a housing configured to encapsulate the transceiver, wherein the housing is separate from the hosting service.
