Telrad has that, but that's in the radio, not in the antenna.

Basestation talks to each CPE in a time division fashion using the sector that has the best signal to that CPE. It’s a site starter mode, they assume you will eventually go to 3 basestations. I assume the LTE guys could do this as well, I wonder if Telrad maybe has it already. I think Runcom maybe does this on their TVWS gear.
