Help needed – where to find vintage cgi footage specifically of radars, radio towers, mobile networks etc – looking for cassette futurism / infographic type vibes (y2k influence also welcome)

Title says it all really – any suggestions would be appreciated! I've been browsing around for this technology/telecommunications themed stuff for days and have come up with surprisingly little, but I know there's a ton out there. I'm sure I remember seeing retro cgi animations showing how networks and radio signals work in various places but it's hard to place the memory. My closest finds have been a few old NASA videos but it's not quite scratching the itch!
