In the Florida Everglades on Thursday, the company showed ZDNet UK a 3.7Mbps signal transmitted with a claimed power of just 50mW — roughly that of a standard laptop Wi-Fi adaptor – from a tower 18 miles away.

With any nominal antenna and background noise this is impossible. They have either usurped Shannon or they aren't telling you everything (e.g. a laser has awesome antenna gain, but isn't particulary effective at broad area coverage).
