That is why Starlink told those in Ukraine to be careful in using their system.

Speaking of TI, many moons ago we set up some temporary 5GHz video links
using Trango radios for a TxDOT project in Dallas area...some of the cameras
and radios were installed on roof of TI building...as we were escorted up the
stairs by security, one of our tower guys called me on my Engenius 900MHz
cordless phone to say he was ready to align...the security guard was surprised
because he said the building was RF secure and they blocked cellphones..
He asked to borrow it so they could check it out...lol..
Apparently the 1 watt and FHSS modulation used by these was not something
they were prepared for!!
We had a lot of fun with those phones..true full duplex and crystal clear..

Some devices if you factory default them you can pick a different
country on first bootup. I knew a guy who used to set all of his Ubiquiti
stuff to “Hong Kong” so he could avoid power and DFS rules in 5.2-5.6ghz.
I am not recommending this course of action, and I would personally not
be comfortable with the liability (and bad neighborliness) that would come with
that, but it’s definitely a thing people do.

This happened after 911 in Del Rio/Bracketville Texas areas...Tsunami
ptp links for hospital to clinic 5Ghz link...they would start at 6:00am and
stop at 9:00pm..
Link would come back up!!
It affected some VoiceStream (T-Mobile now) tower to tower links as
well..
I believe the statute of limitations is over, if not, this was a
dream ala Dallas episode.
We ended up putting a parallel 2.4GHz link using two Teletronic
wireless router which supported bridge mode and had channel 14 with a friendly
1 watt booster on the AP side...they would use it when they needed to send
X-rays only and turn it off when not in use. They would transfer files and
updates at night....used it for several months after the Air Force base went
back to normal operations.
No hablo...

communication systems of scale over large geography.
