Opinions on digital beamforming at mmWave frequencies?

Note: This post is not about the company/stock, just the technology part and what you think of it, but if this post violates any rules just remove it.

Hey guys,

I've invested in a company that has developed a solution for distributed digital beamforming at mmWave frequencies, and would appreciate your opinions on their technology. I'm not an expert in this field, and while I've tried to read up as much as I can on it, it's sometimes hard to critically evaluate the company claims. I have a lot of trust in the company leadership (ex-Ericsson brass, some who led the development of Bluetooth), but trust only goes so far.

So, what are your opinions on 5G/mmWave in general and the concept of digital beamforming in particular? Is it a viable solution for the wider market?

The company in question has developed an RFIC (+software) they claim not only vastly improves data speeds/capacity but is actually more cost/power efficient than the analog/hybrid solutions used today. Furthermore, they also claim their digital beamforming technology is much better at handling NLos scenarios, while also increasing the signal range. The aim is to implement their technology in smartphones/base stations/FWA/IoT/automotives/drones/radars etc.

To me, it sounds like they pretty much have solved most of the problems associated with mmWave (which currently are plentiful). In a way, it almost sounds too good to be true, which is why asking what your thoughts are on this?

Edit: They have a lot of information on their website/presentations, especially under the "technology" section: https://beammwave.com (but I repeat, I don't want to discuss the stock here, just the technology part).

Cheers!
