Overview

ASR 2616010 is one of 26 registered structures in Santa Maria, CA. It is a tower standing 79 m (258 ft) above ground.

The median tower in California is 27 m tall across 1,913 registrations, so this one sits 197% above the typical height for its type.

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.

Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 79 m structure is about 37 km (22.7 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.

The closest other registered structure is 3.9 km (2.4 mi) to the ENE. In total there are 2 other registered structures within 5 km.

Built roughly 27 years ago, it is one of 26 registered structures serving the Santa Maria area.
