In order to ensure that you have decent foul lines in the outfield you will have to rely on teamwork and some pretty sophisticated coordination...

Ideally a team of four (or more properly a klatch when you're referring to three or more satellites), as pictured above, should be used for optimum results. You may be able to get by with three, but the quality and precision of your lines will undoubtedly be diminished.
What are the positives when using a klatch of laser toting satellites? Reliability, line quality, and of course the 'Wow' and 'Brag' factor. Your grounds
crew will be the talk of the county! They will have necessarily become quite a technologically savvy group. The skills they will have learned to pull this off will allow them to easily transition into other endeavors. For instance: establishment and maintenance of parking space lines at all still viable shopping malls; producing logical, yet vexing, 'out-of-bounds' lines at major golf courses the world over; and if they're really talented the crew will be able to repaint the lane lines on any outdoor track. And if they are the compassionate and caring types there are plenty of hospital heliports that need touching up.
And I should ask. What are the negatives? Initial capital outlay. Don't ask how much. Get started on a government grant while they're still in the mood. Here's a tip...stimulate your favorite U.S. Representative who is 'shovel ready' and desperate for another election year photo op. C'mon...it's baseball for youngsters! That's a sure winner in any pol's still unread book.
And then there are some safety issues to be concerned with. First off, if you have any Western Hop-Scotched morose tricolor striped lichen dependent levee dwelling chipmunks within close proximity (let's assume 50 miles) to your field you will certainly have to rethink the use of the space lasers. There isn't a government agency or public interest group in these United States that would tolerate even the thought of interfering with those dour little chipmunks tucked away in their swank government subsidized 'existence dens' punched attractively into most levees throughout our land.
Now if it's the welfare of your players you may be concerned about then I would have them simply assemble in the dug outs while the crew is marking the outfield foul lines. The lasers are capable, even when calibrated perfectly, of cutting even the most expensive 'laser resistant' alloy bat in two in a flash. Keep the players on the bench.
And if any government officials are snooping around just show them how responsibly you are watching out for the safety of your ballplayers. The bureaucrats won't care of course, they are there to account for the chipmunks. Or perhaps tally the number of flies in your Port-A-John®!
