The gamechanger is that they're doing it with basically a handheld tablet.
Previous long-range WLAN deployments were pretty much limited to point-to-point fixed links using high-gain directional antennas. Being able to move around in arbitrary orientations opens up dozens of new use cases.

The course is over 2km long and over 150m wide, which makes it unsuitable for regular wifi without deploying a dozen specialized APs, and directional antennas are tricky due to all the movement involved. Being able to put a single omnidirectional antenna at the halfway point and having it Just Work would be a absolutely amazing.
