Based on the teardown, it's impossible to tell; again largely comes down to what their ICs are capable of. But based on the patents, and what I've heard unofficially, it does support 2 simultaneous beams. The point of that isn't to double throughput or anything like that, it's to accomplish "make before break" handoff as one satellite moves towards the edge of view, and another is better.
Don't know much about how they've set up their satellite terminals--for a typical GEO station, they'd support a huge number of static beams simultaneously to multiplex as much through the station as possible. With many birds in LEO, it's unclear how extreme they have to get about that.
