relays are passive and require no power. quasi-optics.


Does this mean that the meta-material lenses are custom built for each relay station? For example, to bend the beam around fixed obstacles like a mountain. Do you believe this will be a barrier to manufacturing and installation?

Or are you creating a generic lens that is factory tuneable to the needed characteristics?


Great question! in fact... so good that I cant answer it properly without divulging some of the secret source.

Suffice to say that you are on to some of our more interesting IP ;)
