1. A first device comprising:

  • a plurality of transceivers, each transceiver of the first device comprising an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas;

    a plurality of baseband processors; and

    a network management engine configured to;

    establish a feedback channel between the first device and a second device to provide and negotiate configuration information;

    identify a plurality of pairs of transceivers, each pair of identified transceivers comprising a corresponding transceiver from the plurality of transceivers of the first device and a corresponding transceiver from a plurality of transceivers of the second device, each transceiver of the second device comprising an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas;

    configure, for each identified pair of transceivers, (i) a beam pattern for the antenna array of the corresponding transceiver of the first device in the pair and (ii) a beam pattern for the antenna array of the corresponding transceiver of the second device in the pair;

    wherein each baseband processor is configured to generate a data stream; and

    wherein the network management engine is further configured to communicate the data stream generated by each baseband processor in the plurality of baseband processors between a pair of transceivers in the plurality of pairs of transceivers utilizing the beam patterns configured for the pair of transceivers.
