Where are Nodes 11, 12, 13, and 14 physically located?

In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.
Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives.

When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate?

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.
