Guyed tower 617258
Lake Wales, Florida · Polk County
Overview
ASR 617258 is a guyed tower registered about 24 km (15 mi) from Lake Wales, FL. It stands 94 m (309 ft) above ground level.
The median guyed tower in Florida is 99 m tall across 663 registrations, so this one sits 5.2% below 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.
At 94 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 40 km (24.8 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Registration density around this point is 1 other structure within a 5 km radius.
Ranked 3rd by height among the 27 registered structures in Lake Wales, FL, it sits within a network of sites that between them cover the surrounding area.

About this record
A slender mast held upright by tensioned cables anchored around it. The cheapest way to go very tall, which is why most structures above 300 m are guyed.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 617258, which gives a construction date of 1998. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
