I'm pretty sure it could with that DIDO technology that Rearden Labs produced. The think the sub company they started it under was Artemis. I always thought they're tech would work very well with satellite constellations.

Artemis was vaporware. It never made it into the field.

Vaporware is not an accurate description. I'm pretty sure you they have manufactured hardware that you can deploy for a test deployment. Also pretty sure they're working with the military for weaponization and wireless power transmission.

They were supposed to do a large rollout with sprint, and it never happened. The technology itself was vaporware; it only worked in their lab setting.
