So, they claim this has much lower latency than WiFi, on the order of 1ms and yet they need a round-trip /over the internet/ to their datacenter to generate a waveform. That AP-Datacenter communication inherently adds more latency than a WiFi link. What am I missing?

Perhaps what they mean by "data center" is simply a server running at each wireless access point?

  Except you need to combine the waveforms of multiple access points, so the APs need to send the current radio profiles to a shared server, the server needs to receive the proxied information and generate the waveforms for each AP, then the waveforms need to get sent back to the APs and transmitted over the radios. Obviously, this is not what they are referring to in the 1ms timing, but I don't know what it is they are referring to.
