Describes a Wi-Fi antenna pattern that is extremely narrow, precisely aimed, and capable of targeting specific zones from longer distances with minimal interference or signal waste.
2. Invented slang by stadium network engineers who got tired of calling them “super-tight multi-antenna beamforming arrays mounted 90 feet in the air.”
3. See also: laser-like, sniper-mode, APs-with-a-purpose.
