The Mui Board is, concerning smart home controllers go, kicking back and nondescript. There’s no dazzling HD display, and also anything plainly technological. It’s a smooth product of lumber that thoroughly beams when you get in touch with it. So it makes good sense that Mui Laboratory would absolutely recommend it as an extraordinary choice for the room. And, if you’re gon na have this uncommon…

you can improve range if you accept directionality, that the signal will be really strong in one direction and weak in others (this applies to both transmitters and receivers). this is how old TV antennas work, where you need to actually point them in the right direction. obviously physically pointing the antenna isn't an option with mobile phones though. but another way you can get it is "beamforming," where you put a bunch of antennas in an array and adjust their phases so their signals sync up really well in some particular direction.

and mmWave stuff is uniquely good at this bc of how you construct that array, the antennas need to be a specific distance apart from each other for that to work out, that distance is 1/2 wavelength... for 60GHz wavelength is ~5mm, so your antennas can be 2.5mm apart from each other, which means you can fit a TON of them in small spaces. 5GHz wavelength is 6cm, 2.5GHz 12cm, look at how big your phone is, you can fit maybe 2-3 antennas in there if you were willing to put a monkey wrench into the design of the entire handset... but with mmWaves you just pack a bunch of antennas in there and it's fine.

but hey, people got really good at beamforming, and just bc you don't have a directional receiver doesn't mean you can't put a bunch of antennas on your transmitter. and you get other spatial reuse benefits from it, multiple APs can transmit in the same area and not deafen each other.
