What's the use for these kinds of wireless networks? I've seen wireless networks in big campuses before and it's just a bunch of APs that sit on their own VLAN that talk back to a controller sitting a telco closet somewhere else. They just plug into the wall so the only wireless part is the connection between the user and the AP but these kinds of things seem like they are meant for a different use case.

Places where there is no DOCSIS3/3.1 coax cable, beyond any reasonable copper loop length for ADSL2+ or VDSL2 over old POTS phone wiring, and the only other option is a small satellite terminal. There's hundreds of WISPs all over the US operating in their own little pockets of service area. Rural parts of eastern Oregon and nothern Idaho for instance. High degree of venn diagram overlap with the same customer market for the SpaceX Starlink system if it does become a concrete reality.
