As a randomly chosen example if you take a look at the roof of the UK
embassy in Kabul, there's a nice 4 meter size Andrew/Commscope compact

can't just show up. However, that does not prevent the local gubbermint
from jamming signals to the extent they can without infringing on the
sovereign rights of the consulate.
