> To understand the significance of this infrastructure, consider who actually uses Industrial/Business Pool microwave systems: NSA field stations, CIA operational facilities, FBI secure data operations, Department of Defense installations, electric utilities, natural gas pipeline operators, high-frequency trading firms, and major bank data centers. None of those descriptions apply to a private vacation ranch in the high desert.

Isn't a private microwave link a fairly standard way to get high speed low latency internet to remote locations that have line of sight to a relay tower? The time period is prior to Starlink being available so I'm not sure what else you'd expect to see for remote low latency internet connections like this.

It's rather widely reported that Epstein paid quite a lot for private fiber connections for his island as well. There was apparently also a microwave dish there as well.[0]

Would it be possible to determine what the microwave receiver/transmitter at Sandia Crest was connected to? It must be hooked up to something right? How would that typically work to connect to the internet, and are there any records to look up to find out more?

There's plenty of discussions about internet via Sandia Crest towers in the files. Looks like the internet back-haul at Sandia Crest is probably just Centurylink fiber.

Thank you. Great finds.

None of this info is hard to find, there's even a built in search feature(that's what I used to find those documents).[0] The author of this article clearly didn't even do basic due diligence before making their claims.
