1. A distributed antenna system including multiple moveable antenna elements configured for enabling operation of mobile communication devices, the distributed antenna system comprising:

  • a port operatively coupled to first and second antenna elements, the port configured to transmit power to the first and the second antenna elements to cause the first antenna element and the second antenna element to transmit radio frequency in a first direction and a second direction, respectively, wherein a first coverage area of the first antenna element is determined, at least in part, on a first horizontal beam width, a first vertical beam width, and the power transmitted to the first antenna element and wherein a second coverage area of the second antenna element is determined, at least in part, on a second horizontal beam width, a second vertical beam width, and the power transmitted to the second antenna element; and

    at least one motor operatively coupled to the first and the second antenna elements to independently position the first and the second antenna elements to cause a change in an orientation of at least one of the first and second antenna elements to transmit radio frequency in the first and the second directions;

    wherein the first coverage area and the second coverage area are substantially spatially distinct and independently controlled.
