1. A wireless communication system, comprising:
a master wireless access point device configured to communicate a wireless local area network (WLAN) signal in a first WLAN frequency from a data source;
a plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices disposed at a plurality of different locations, wherein a first hybrid analog-digital repeater device is configured to receive the WLAN signal from the master wireless access point device and convert the WLAN signal to a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signals in an intermediate frequency band and relay the first beam of RF signals in the intermediate frequency band to one or more second hybrid analog-digital repeater devices of the plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices; and
one or more service wireless access point devices configured to receive the first beam of RF signals in the intermediate frequency band from the one or more second hybrid analog-digital repeater devices and convert back to the WLAN signal to serve one or more user equipment (UEs) in a data throughput greater than a threshold throughput,
wherein the plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices are disposed as a radio frequency (RF) bridge between the master wireless access point device and the one or more service wireless access point devices such that:
a data propagation path of user data relayed through a network of the plurality of the hybrid analog-digital repeater devices is analog without any digital decoding or encoding of the user data in the first beam of RF signals to reduce latency less than a threshold time, and
a backchannel connectivity and control of the network of the plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices is via a second WLAN frequency, based on a signal metadata of the first beam of RF signal.
