Hmmm, they all seem to have Yagi antenna variants.

More likely dual-band.
Probably some variant of X.25 digipeating,too.
Or secret government flavor of WiFi/WiMax.

not a yagi. Two dipole sets, look to be around 800MHz and perhaps 1900 MHz plus two small panels - I’d assume those are network panels.

If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say this is used for surveillance of cellular phone users - they are networked together with the panel antennas.

Funny I haven't heard that term since the 90's when the Tempest machines were developed to see what someone was viewing on their computer screens in real ti e from a mobile post. Most people idn't know the Feds could o that back then. I only knew about it because spycraft was one of my fields of interest back in the day.

I have suspicions about the latest from Comcast Xfinity Cable. About a year ago Comcast called in my old cable box/DVR and gave me snazzy new one with all kinds of bells and whistles, and will record up to 4 programs simultaneously.

Recently they’ve started pushing something newer; a remote control that can be voice controlled. Instead of pushing buttons, you just say what channel you want, etc.

Where I smell a rat is in the fact that the remote is always “listening”, whether you are talking to it or not. And I think the technology is there for both Comcast and/or the gubmint to listen in on everything that’s said or done in any home where there’s one of those remotes. The U.S. Gubmint has just about reached the same snooping level as that little potbellied dog eater in North Korea.

TRUMP - 2016!
