Salt Lake City: Why Are Antennas Popping Up All Over The Foothills?
January 7th, 2023They’re probably Helium cryptocurrency nodes, but they could also be some other sort of voice/data repeater system. Showing what was inside the box would have been an easy way to get the answer, but they didn’t do that.
Fonarow said that there were no identifying marks on the antennas and that they’d been bolted into the stone and required special tools to remove. “We honestly didn’t even open the box,” he said. “We just wanted it off the hill.”
Didn’t open it up? Really? Ok.
Hmm.

Strange antennas have appeared in the foothills around Salt Lake City and authorities have no idea what they are or who put them up.
As first reported by KSLTV 5 in Utah, people first began noticing the antennas a year ago. They’re simple machines made up of a LoRa fiberglass antenna, a locked battery pack, and a solar panel to power it. The Salt Lake City public lands department has been pulling them down as they find them, and told KSLTV that there have been as many as a dozen.
