Lattice tower 121248
Moreno Valley, California · Riverside County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this lattice tower about 8.1 km (5.0 mi) from Moreno Valley, CA is registered as ASR 121248 and reaches 38 m (123 ft) above ground.
Compared with other lattice tower registrations in California, it is 12.2% shorter than the median of 43 m.
American Towers LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 38 m has a theoretical sightline of 25 km (15.7 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
This is a dense cluster: 24 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 70 m to the NNW.
Built roughly 29 years ago, it is one of 49 registered structures serving the Moreno Valley area.

About this record
An open steel framework that carries heavy antenna loads with less material than a solid pole. Common for broadcast and multi-tenant wireless sites.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
