> This is just a dedicated RF emitter combined with a dedicated receiver. The fact that is it uses WiFi hardware is probably just because that's the cheapest and most available hardware for the researcher to work with.

Ok.

> There is no indication in the article that the WiFi can actually be used for transmitting real data at the same time

So? No one said it was.

> Therefore the ideas that this might apply to real-world situations and use existing WiFi infrastructure, are a stretch given the information that's been shared.

What? First you say it's trivial/obvious, and now it's impossible? Decide on your critique.

The dominant themes in the thread relate to using existing WiFi infrastructure in real world environments. I thought it would be obvious that I was critiquing this line of thinking. Obviously not.

Real-world applications benefit from recent on-device hardware like NPU or Apple Neural Engine.
