They literally don't connect to anywhere else

    If the map you're using is just underwater cables, that still leaves cables on land as connection sources

    There are no roads to these communities from anywhere...zo there wouldn't be any land cables ...well because there are no roads

    Even if there's no roads, there's likely power lines. In some areas, they distribute the power underwater. It could very well be that they ran the network alongside the power.

    There are no power lines to these places.

    They use local diesel generators for power.

    These places are as remote and isolated as it gets... I'm just trying to figure out why and expensive undersea cable was put in place for about 8000 people that doesn't connect to anywhere... And if it does it's wireless... So why not make the whole thing wireless fro the start

    With this being a map of undersea cables, one of the nodes on those lines likely connects to the terrestrial network. With how remote and shitty to build on a lot of that land is, laying the cables undersea may have actually been faster and cheaper than laying them on land.

    There are no roads to these communities though.

    So I assume there are no land cables connected
