Lattice tower 608643
Salisbury, North Carolina · Rowan County
Overview
ASR 608643 is a lattice tower registered about 9.6 km (6.0 mi) from Salisbury, NC. It stands 106 m (348 ft) above ground level.
Locally it is the 1st tallest of 28 registered structures about 9.6 km (6.0 mi) from Salisbury, NC.
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.
Height sets an upper bound on reach: about 42 km (26.4 mi) to the radio horizon for equipment mounted at the top. This is a theoretical maximum over flat ground and says nothing about signal strength.
Three other registered structures sit within 4.6 km (2.9 mi), the nearest 1.7 km (1.1 mi) to the ENE.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 4,512 structures on file for North Carolina.

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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 608643, which gives a construction date of 1996. 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.
