What do you estimate it would cost them to manufacture in large quantities? People are probably assuming it’s a $10 item at some point, but it looks expensive to me, even at scale.

[V Clever motor assembly. Be fun to use that same mechanism for a solar panel. I may have to give that a try. So, it does steer mechanically. Almost has to to maximize the gain. Looks like roughly 2000 patches. Looks like roughly 500 chips feeding them. So a 4 patch array fed by a T/R-LNA - power amp. 4-6 of those clusters fed into a larger chip that probably does the phasing for steering. So the antenna is just a whole lot of simple in a very massive scale.
