POWER: Persistent Optical Wire
As envisioned, POWER’s final demonstration will employ relays integrated onto existing platforms to validate long-distance transmission from a ground-sourced laser through multiple airborne nodes and back down to a ground receiver. I don't see it coming onto the civilian market any time soon.

Wifi is implemented over very short distances; radically controlled by my router’s range, but every home could have a, “router” someday for electricity.

Fascinating idea if it were more feasibly achievable. Imagine not having to need surge protectors anymore!
