Haha, apologies.

I may have access to that sort of wireless tech. Think directional wireless, like a laser, but with lower frequencies. But much higher than traditional WiFi you probably have in your home.

So because of the spatial sensitivity, it is much more directional, you could literally stream sats directly to the other side with others having a hard time to pick this up - not exactly true, but directionally true.

Also From what I understand, this LoRa stuff requires extensive setups for long range. With directional mmWave your setup wouldn't be that simple either but ~1km is possible (in 1 direction).

Ah okay. These smaller antennas are like less than a mile in urban areas. All depends on line of sight, but if you have a lot of them spaced out and connected you may be able to achieve longer distances. This is pretty much my first jump in anything related to radio besides a basic scanner.

Correct, it mostly requires line of sight, barring some reflective surfaces that may help around obstacles.

You could also create point-to-multipoint networks where one access point can serve multiple stations. Depending on the brand " I'm told " up to 30 is possible. But it does divide the datarate down since they use time-division duplexing.
