Every time you see a claim like this, remember the Shannon–Hartley theorem[1].
If you want to get a decent bandwidth in aggregate for your mobile network, you're going to need to consider:
* Maximize transmit Power: which is hard because phones are battery powered, and power is limited by law. Satellites are also battery powered.
* Maximize bandwidth: Also limited by rules and regulations.
* Maximize Directionality: If you have physically large antennas, you can direct your transmit power towards the receiver to make best use of it.
* Minimize Distance: Received signal power goes down the the square of he distance. Double the distance, and you get one quarter of the bandwidth, all other things being the same.
This proposal uses tiny existing antennas in phones, which means it must be making other tradeoffs. My guess is it seriously sacrifices the total throughput.
