"distributing 16 small panels across rooftops/ urban infrastructure electronically steering multiple radio beams simultaneously tracking several satellites without mechanical movement... near-field physics at 100s km allowing spatial panel separation creating virtual super dish, supporting up to 4 concurrent data streams, tripling data throughput compared to traditional hardware... off-the-shelf components/ existing 5G compatible... highly scalable/ cost-efficient managing increasingly crowded satellite orbits"
