My best guess is that this will end up as vaporware as all the others have.
However, they do say that they are transmitting in an ISM band, using a
narrow beam, and using metamaterials (maybe for lensing or to help the beam
to go around obstacles). They also say that they have a laser-based safety
detection barrier around the beam which shuts it down if anything enters
the beam. I'm not sure how that will work with birds or rain/snow.

Their name seems an odd choice. Emrod is an archaic English word for a
hemorrhoid.
