It connects to those cables you saw. Then to the wider internet.

Wireless is hilariously power inefficient. You'd need massive cell towers everywhere with unlimited data, that are still connected to cables at the tower.

At a certain point its cheaper to lay a smaller power cable, and an internet cable, than a massive power cable to do point to point wireless.
