I believe those are cell phone signal antennas. Owned by Verizon, Sprint, ATT etc. It's easier that building a tall cell tower. They rent the space from the building and then put their communication antennas on the building. You are using these when you make a cell phone, phone call.
There used to be a fake tree one by the golf course before you get off at the Waikele exit. I'm guessing it's still there. It did a pretty good job camouflaging as a palm/coconut tree. :) - L

???Airconditioner???
j: never noticed them before and now you've got my curiosity going! -N
aren't they a type of cellphone towers?

Thank you, everybody. I'd been wondering for ages.
cell phone antenna?!
ps you've seen the ones they camouflage as palm trees?!
