Unclear whether the referenced text from the WLAN Training Materials refers to omnidirectional or directional coverage area

In the figure below it says the range for 2.4Ghz is ~100m (experience says between 50 and 70m for omnidirectional) and the reach of 5Ghz is between 500 and 1000m.

I'm not sure how to wrap my head around the true reach of 5Ghz, especially in the case of directional antennas. How can I calculate this? Does it also improve with advancements in technology or are we at odds with the laws of physics?

Factors that determine the range of one access point include:
the specific 802.11 protocol it runs
the type, quantity, and gain of the antenna
the nature of physical obstructions and/or radio interference in the surrounding area

The range in the picture is assuming you are using the standard antennae that come with most WiFi equipment. Your range will certainly rise if you use a higher gain antenna.
