Let's talk aliens.

it would be like a wireless network with a strong encryption. Even if its telepathic it STILL has to have some form of physical medium to transmit and recieve data.

The quirk is that it doesn't manifests itself in any known physical medium. It doesn't require a network of receivers and repeaters like human communications do (data streams via trade lanes, communication satellites and jumpgates).

Means there is something else, no doubt puzzling scientific minds. Back when I actually played the game (long time ago it was) regularly I had a character, a paranoid lane hacker who was an ex-navy, came to be witness of the first conflict. Anyway, in-character I played that he spewed some conspiracy theorists garbage, among which was a saying that Nomads are infesting and using humans as communication relays, matrix-esque horrors and all that. A crazy theory of course fitting equally crazy character of mine, still one of the examples how it could be viewed as in-game. Whether that is true or not... I don't know.

There was a TNG episode where the Enterprise captures a lone borg and they are able to interact with it outside its shared mind. So, I would say very possible.

How any material from a different science fiction universe can make something in a different science fiction universe plausible for a completely different specie entirely unrelated? I don't see borgs here and I don't see Enterprise here either (last thing we need around is an army of Picards). None at all. Just because something was made possible in one fictional universe doesn't make it automatically possible for a different one.
