Used for some of the earliest attempts at transatlantic C-band communications via geostationary satellites.
In the history of geostationary telecom satellite stuff the teleports near Holmdel are fairly important.
One of the other nearby noteworthy facilities is the giant teleport on Staten Island. Now all of the antennas and facilities have been removed and it's a vacant lot.
