Thank you so much to all those who responded!

Suggestions were:

"60GHz through a projection port"

Powerline ethernet (three people, Pete Mundy got in first)

Cables under a red carpet (missing the point that we don't have cables,
but I did like the red carpet idea)

Ubiquiti 5G PTP gear through a projection port

Something involving "HDMI handoff" that whistled over my head (sorry)

"900MHz Ubiquiti gear"

I have managed to borrow some powerline ethernet units. Initial tests
are very promising. I'm getting 50mb/s out of them just doing crude
file transfer tests. If we can get that in the actual venue, we'll be
laughing. These ones are only FE from 2011, more recent ones are
probably way better/faster. Possible fly in the ointment if we can't
get the units on the same circuit; won't know until I get in there.
Anyway, I'll let you know how we go.

Thanks again to all who responded. And any further brilliant ideas
still very welcome :-)

It occurs to me that there may be a market for optical devices that can
just go on either side of a glass pane and talk though it. Non-
destructive. No mounts - just suckers or magnets. No need for aiming,
they'd be so close to each other. Could be really low power for the
same reason. I'd buy a set :-)

Regards, K.
