Fewer users associate with each access point. The result is a kind of virtuous circle. \u201cIt gives more capacity per user, so more bandwidth, so a better user experience,\u201d says Lime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patch antennas focus the radio beam within a specific area.
