Hi Chris,

Beam steering is just one of technique used by some to focus the signal in
certain specific way to improve range. These wifi switch act as the normal
base station or access point as we know of. On the customer end they still
use the standard wifi (802.11b) cards.

The other company using similar antenna technique is vivato.net. The
advantage these switches is the extended range of coverage. They can cover
2 to 3 miles NLOS.
