On Wednesday, Salt Lake City public lands officials hiked for hours up a snowy trail to remove a mysterious device – one that’s popping up all over the foothills.
It consists of a locked battery box, a solar panel, and an antenna, according to Tyler Fonarow, the city’s recreational trails manager.
“These towers have been bolted into different peaks and summits and ridges around the foothills,” Fonarow explained, “and it started with one or two, and now it might be as much as a dozen.”
The first ones appeared about a year ago, but Fonarow said many more were found in the past few months. The small towers don’t have permits, and it’s unclear who’s installing them.

Mormon underground movement?
The voices in my head tell me that they should leave the antennas alone.
Isn’t there supposed to be some big data storage facility around Salt Lake City?
“...a locked battery box, a solar panel, and an antenna...”
No electronics?
No outgoing signals?
They are proxy voting servers so Members of Congress can vote from their vacation homes.
Sounds like a complete off-grid repeater of some sort.
Self contained.
Could be ChiCom.
Could be a game camera hooked up to an extreme antenna.
The Utah Data Center (UDC) aka known as the "Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center." I've heard that most of its storage is dedicated to getting Trump.
Nah, Proxy Voting Centers are “Votes As A Service” (VAAS) where Democrats generate as many votes as they need to steal elections.
I just put a second layer on my tin-foil hat.
I’m not saying this is it; but it could be a candidate.

Ham radio guys sometimes run such nets for emergency communications purposes, and don’t widely announce it to help a bit with some security.

Preppers practicing for comms post shtf times?
If they really want to know the answer, here’s a tip: hire an RF engineer to examine them, not a French Literature major.
“ Preppers practicing for comms post shtf times.”
That’s my guess. GMRS repeaters maybe or a meshed LTE network of some kind.

Whoever is putting them up either has an FCC license and permission from the landowner (unless maybe they’are all on public land?) Each node looks to have a value of several hundred to several thousand dollars and that means there’s nearly zero chance a bunch of hams or other hobbyists are putting that kind of coin out of their own pockets knowing there’s a high probability they’ll be confiscated.
Pirate radio operators build $50 transmitters (aka the “grenade”) that they can afford to walk away from if someone finds it.
