Cell towers in Gainesville, Georgia
The FCC register lists 43 antenna structures in and around Gainesville. That is the 10th highest count of any place in Georgia.
Overview
Gainesville, GA has 43 registered structures, the tallest standing 150 m (491 ft) above ground.
Area density is 1.27 per square mile — usually the more telling figure for infrastructure that follows terrain, roads and line of sight rather than population.
Heights are uneven: the median is 71 m (232 ft) but the tallest is 150 m (491 ft), roughly 2.1 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.
Lattice towers (6) and guyed masts (4) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.
Registrations here span 1957 to 2019.

About this data
These counts come from the FCC Antenna Structure Registration database, weekly file dated 2026-08-23. Registration is generally required above 200 feet or near an airport, so small cells, rooftop antennas and short masts do not appear.
The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.
"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.
