My understanding of wave physics is minimal, but at the strengths you're broadcasting at wont this completely drown out any wifi signals nearby?

No. we are beaming strictly point-to-point in the near field unlike WiFi, Bluetooth, RFIF, etc

Unless of course we are beaming directly at a coms antenna, which we don't plan to :)
