They are only transmitting 30 mm, when they moved to transmitting 20 meters it had to drop from 64QAM to 32QAM and lost some throughput. It's also laser generated so I don't believe it's omnidirectional, just point to point.

Sounds more practical for satellite-to-satellite communication than for consumer devices then if it's being sent with lasers

Might work well in open office and large public spaces though, there's quite a lot of things in between consumer and space.

IIRC there are modern enterprise wi-fi APs that sit in the rafters, and form star-topology laser relays between devices.

The transmitted signal is diode generated, not laser-generated, and it's coupled with a typical EHF horn antenna.
