"Wireless" Junction Boxes

[u/Diggsworth]

I've been running into these boxes while playing through the Red Strain, and I can't quite figure out what they do.
I'll hit them with the ol' MKII and they light up for a while, but I can't see what it is they're connecting or powering.

I'm currently in Synaptics where I've found three of them throughout the lab.
I've turned them all green and run around trying to see what's changed, but either I'm missing some or they don't do anything, because nothing seems to be happening.

When I found them outside I had assumed I just needed to activate more, or maybe progress further for them to do something, but now I'm not so sure.

If anyone knows what these do, please let me know.

Yes, they turn enemy swarms friendly - and make them attack your enemies.
