Abstract
A beam forming communication system includes a beam forming wireless communication device that is configured to provide wireless communication signals on a plurality of beamed formed wireless communication paths. A plurality of computing devices are positioned in a rack and are each configured to receive wireless communication signals from the beam forming wireless communication device. Each of the plurality of computing devices may determine whether wireless communication signals satisfy minimum wireless signal characteristics and, if so, provide a beam form receiving indication. The plurality of computing devices are positioned such that only a first subset of the plurality of computing devices provide the beam form receiving indication in response to the beam forming wireless communication device providing the wireless communications signals on a first beam formed wireless communication path.
