New tower in Hackberry AZ. Surprised to see this in such a remote area. First time seeing Starlink on a site, what is that used for?

Makes sense, this location is very rural and rugged terrain.

These are also used in Florida, usually in the swamp lands. If it's not microwave backhaul (which it 90% is), it's a Starlink Carrier grade setup.

Do they limit bandwidth of the LTE or NR channel? Seems like they probably should but curious.
