Communicating 100km up is far far easier than communicating 100km sideways. Much less air to go through, and less obstructions. A few space startups out there have missions in the sky right now able to do this. The trick is to but high gain on the satellite side to compensate and phased array communications has been coming a long way to really target the power into a directed path than just beaconing.
