Quick answer
Wired queue systems use network cabling between the counters, kiosk, server and display, and are the most predictable. Wireless counter units and displays save cabling, suit existing buildings and temporary sites, and need a good radio or network environment. Many sites combine both: wired for fixed items and wireless for counters.
