One potential case use at home would be for digital TV, where you may have a single access point to the antenna, and this solution would allow you to receive TV channels from another room, using the IR receivers and transmitter on the device. It would also be interesting in locations where you need to show one source to many such as retail locations, universities, airports, etc…, and probably some industrial applications. You can watch a short video demo on Facebook.
The company quoted me $256 for a sample kit with one transmitter and one receiver. You can visit Lenkeng LKV380Pro product page for more information.
