Akron, Ohio · Summit County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower in Akron, OH is registered as ASR 609979 and reaches 292 m (959 ft) above ground.
Within its county it ranks 2nd out of 154 registered structures by overall height.
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.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 609979. 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.
