Guyed tower 100740
Alpharetta, Georgia · Fulton County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 100740, this guyed tower in Alpharetta, GA was built in 2008 and rises 130 m (426 ft) from the ground.
The median guyed tower in Georgia is 98 m tall across 826 registrations, so this one sits 33.1% 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 130 m structure is about 47 km (29.2 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a lattice tower 195 m to the S, standing 80 m tall.
Built roughly 18 years ago, it is one of 21 registered structures serving the Alpharetta 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.
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.
