Is it literally just a drone with a wired connection to the controller? How does that even work? Doesn't that make for a very limited range?

The entire length of the fiber would have to be dragged along with the drone if you did it that way. With the spool on the drone, the unspooled fiber falls to the ground and is stationary.
