Rendering of global satellite network transmitting signal beams to Earth. — Low Earth orbit satellites could soon offer millions of people worldwide access to high-speed communications. Now, researchers have invented a technique that enables these satellites’ antennas to manage signals for multiple users at once, making them cheaper and simpler to design and launch.
