Bridgit Mendler's Northwood makes ground station connection with Planet Labs in key test | TechCrunch
Briefly

"The purpose of what we're doing is building a more performant ground network that can help industrialize the space industry. We see connectivity as really a fundamental pillar of expanding space."
"Northwood is aiming to solve what it calls 'the bottleneck for space': the terrestrial infrastructure that enables satellites to communicate with Earth and vice versa."
"Northwood's solution is to mass produce a digital phased-array system, which it calls a 'Portal', to enable 'always-on satellite connectivity.'"
"Northwood's technology is being designed for scale: Unlike traditional parabolic dish antennas, Northwood says its antenna can connect with multiple satellites simultaneously."
