1. A first edge device, comprising:
a first antenna array;
a sensor configured to sense a surrounding area of the first edge device; and
control circuitry configured to:
detect a first user in the surrounding area of the first edge device;
track the detected first user in the surrounding area of the first edge device;
control the first antenna array to direct a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal in a first direction of the tracked first user;
detect and track a second user concurrently with the first user in the surrounding area of the first edge device; and
update the control of the first antenna array to direct a second beam of RF signal in a second direction towards the second user concomitant to the directed first beam of RF signal in the first direction towards the first user.
