    Isn’t this similar to the tech used in fiber optics cables? Or am I way off

      But it is for wifi communication apparently. Unfortunately short wave lengths are absorbed more easily than longer wave lengths as the current radio/microwave solutions. That is the main physical limitations to overcome

        Yeah, they just need to do more research and in few years we’ll break the laws of physics.

      No, they basically replaced a WIFI Router antenna with a TV IR Remote (with all the issues they have) and said ‘teh new hotness!’. Fibre optics uses light too, but, the wire is designed to unimpede the signal.
