To be fair most wifi is used within homes or businesses these days so I would simply sacrifice range — as long as the minimum range is reasonable
yeah but this wifi you can only use in one room ..
I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.
i imagine a use-case for vr headsets
Exactly.
I also imagine access points in every room.
Can't wait.
Well as long as you never turn around and put your body between the headset and it's wireless peer.
Note that 802.11ay to get 20-40gb (approx 2GB to 3GB/s) is a thing, and it's ignored because going over 45 ghz is just impractical. This experiment would have to go even higher than that.
