It’s not really a 5G tower..
It literally looks like a Wireless Access Point, and can double as one sometimes.
You plug a network cable into a power supply for dedicated power over POE, and another network cable into your LAN. On the other side where you other dish is, you do the exact same. Plug the network cable into a LAN, and boom you will magically have the devices on both sides on the same network.
The dishes just have to a clear line of sight, and you can get some insane distances.
There is a community mesh WiFi network in New York City that uses these exact ubiquiti dishes to beam wireless high speed trunks across the water to the different burrows; and to uptown.
For just $800, you can set up a pair of air fiber dishes, and be able to beam a 2gbps trunk up to 7 miles away.

A few years ago, we moved to a larger space down the street; but Verizon couldn’t get fiber installed in time of our move out date of our existing location.
We set up dishes on each building as they had line of sight fortunately. We ran a VOIP network over it for a month without any hiccups. Even in the worst storms, we didn’t see any speed slow downs or packet loss. It was very impressive.
