AT&T Long Lines Oak Hill Tower, San Jose, CA 2021.
This unusual Brutalist tower was part of the former AT&T terrestrial microwave network that once carried the bulk of US long distance telephone traffic. The (long since disconnected) horn antennas are too big and heavy to remove.

The top floor seems to be still lit. A bunch of small dishies, probably 4G links.
These tiny telco dishies had spread for a while here in .at like mushrooms in fall. Now they are slowly diminuishing as telco operators are rearranging their networks in the aera of what they call "edge computing" in 5G.
Wireless daisy chains are becoming a thing of the past.
