Lattice tower 2616849
Meridian, Mississippi · Lauderdale County
Overview
Dating from the 2000s, this lattice tower about 12 km (7.4 mi) from Meridian, MS is registered as ASR 2616849 and reaches 78 m (257 ft) above ground.
Of the 77 structures registered about 12 km (7.4 mi) from Meridian, MS, this is the 38th tallest.
Sba Properties, 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 78 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.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 2.4 km (1.5 mi) to the WNW, standing 73 m tall.
The site lies 12 km (7.4 mi) outside Meridian, 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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2616849. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
