Wi-Fi should be able to do it. Dense 5G uses similar bands after all and they'll go through a couple walls.

- mytailorisrich 2mo agoThe issue is that Wifi offers no reliability guarantees and does not scale when number of nodes grows beyond a relatively low number. So when number of nodes is large and you want to perform critical tasks (e.g. control robots, machinery, etc remotely) Wifi does not work.
- Dylan16807 2mo agoThere's no good reason it can't handle even more nodes, especially since you can have over 50 separate channels. Central control of the frequencies helps somewhat with density but not that much. We can and should fix those flaws. I don't think I trust 5G for sub-second critical tasks either...
