They are sidestepping Shannon by taking advantage of spacial multiplexing.
If I'm user fiber-optic communications with 1064nm laser, there's a maximum bandwidth I can get out of a single fiber. But I can always just add more fibers.
You can do this with radio waves too. Just broadcast in such a way that a signal has maximum strength at the desired user's location, and less strength elsewhere.
You need multiple antennas, of course (like multiple fiber heads). I think if you wanted 100% bandwidth for each user, you'd need at least one antenna per user.
