Lattice tower 2685706
Brandon, Mississippi · Rankin County
Overview
Structure 2685706 about 14 km (8.9 mi) from Brandon, MS is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a lattice tower measuring 129 m (423 ft) tall.
Compared with other lattice tower registrations in Mississippi, it is 45.3% taller than the median of 89 m.
The registered owner is Cooperative Energy. Utilities register structures used for their own operational communications along transmission and distribution networks.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 129 m structure is about 47 km (29.1 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 tower 108 m to the ENE, standing 95 m tall.
The site lies 14 km (8.9 mi) outside Brandon, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 2685706. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
