Direct RF carrier modulation through tunable surface cells overcomes passive RIS slot-level limits while lowering mmWave beamforming complexity and power.
Priority-based satellite demodulation sends urgent messages quickly while shifting low-priority signal processing to ground stations.
Prioritized on-board demodulation sends urgent satellite messages quickly while shifting lower-priority decoding to ground stations to save power.
Software-defined spot beams let small GEO satellites shift power and activate antennas on demand to match changing coverage and capacity needs.
A streetlight-mounted telecom support unit relays blocked cellular signals while adding smart lighting control and utility-grade power metering.
