1. A system for presenting communications to users in a wireless power delivery environment, the system comprising:

  • one or more wireless power transmitting systems, each including;

    control circuitry; and

    multiple adaptively-phased antennas configured to transmit coherent power signals and data signals into the wireless power delivery environment; and

    multiple electronic display apparatuses, each including;

    a display for presenting display data to users in a wireless power delivery environment;

    one or more antennas configured to wirelessly receive the coherent power signals and the data signals; and

    control circuitry configured to;

    process the coherent power signals to harvest energy therefrom;

    store the energy for powering the electronic display apparatus;

    identify a particular user having a wireless device other than the electronic display apparatus within a threshold range of the electronic display apparatus;

    generate or receive customized communication directed to the particular user;

    process the data signals to determine the display data; and

    direct the display to present;

    the display data to the users, and the customized communication to the particular user,wherein the control circuitry of each wireless power transmitting system is configured to direct the multiple adaptively-phased antennas to transmit the coherent power signals to the multiple adaptively-phased antennas.
