Wireless has really limited range at high speeds. It needs to be high frequency to handle high speeds and high frequency is interrupted by mist, to say nothing of snow or rain, and high frequency also must be line of sight and simply doesn’t cover much distance. They would need to put up a tower roughly 1/4 as often as a wire carrying pole for much less reliability and much less capacity. Wireless is almost never the correct answer to a fixed connection.
Arguably the suspicious cables aren’t on the public maps.
It’s a little confusing but I think that they are putting a starlink ground station there to offset some of the cost of the fibre network, and until fiber is finished, people can use starlink.
It’s really unfortunate that musk owns Starlink, but this remote community proves that fibre is a reasonable option if there’s emphasis put on it. Wireless should be a last resort and satellite should be well behind that.
Why ask if you won’t accept the answer?
I found this https://krg.ca/en-CA/assets/Council/2024/May/EAUFON.pdf which includes the terrestrial uplinks that do in fact exist.

He does this regularly; I have him tagged because of that
LMAO I was going to say the same. I have them tagged as a conspiracy theorist
Thanks for finding that …it’s funny that part of their plan is these cable…plus star link
Redundancy is almost always a good thing. If something goes wrong with one form, they have the backup while they fix it.
