The laws of relativity and positions of the earth and mars means it currently takes between 4-24 minutes for radio signals to reach each planet. Under best conditions you will always have at least a 3-23 minute latency issue using some kind of advanced optical wireless communication system simply because the signal cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

If you want to go completely out there in theories of how this can be bypassed then wormholes would be your cup of tea.
