How it works
Electronic steering in elevation,
mechanical in azimuth.
Most flat-panel antennas steer their beam using around a thousand electronic components, which makes them costly, power-hungry, and prone to heat-related issues. NECT steers electronically in elevation and mechanically rotates in azimuth, drawing less power and delivering higher RF performance.
