They are point-to-point microwave antennas. These are often used for data communication, such as controllers, switches, or even as a backbone for a city's mobile computers (in police & fire vehicles for instance). It may be good to get a pic of what they connect to to get a better idea of what specifically they may be for.

Typically 960 MHz links.

They look alot like 2.5ghz. wireless cable antennas that used to be popular here,but maybe not.

If they are on power / telephone poles more than likely they are control links / monitors for one of the utilities on the pole. Also power companies now also have some sort of electronic "meter-reader monitor" now but those are typically a box with three of four cellular type antennas on them (two on top, two on the bottom of the box).

Just like n5ims said of you can get a photo of what they are connected too then it would help us out better for what they are beign used for.
