So, sounds neat. But, holy fuck was that "article" light on any sort of details. "Sub-GHz frequency waves", seriously? The author couldn't ask basic questions like "what frequency does it use?" or "how are you handling spectrum licensing?" This sort of thing would be great, but not if it's going to mean showing up at an FCC auction whenever you want to add an access point.
