Overview

ASR 118945 is one of 39 registered structures in Allentown, PA. It is a lattice tower standing 129 m (422 ft) above ground.

Locally it is the 2nd tallest of 39 registered structures in Allentown, PA.

The structure is registered to Tuway Communications, which holds 3 registrations across Pennsylvania.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 129 m has a theoretical sightline of 47 km (29 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Three other registered structures sit within 655 m, the nearest 555 m to the SW.

The registration dates from the 2020s, part of the 4,024 structures on file for Pennsylvania.

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 118945. 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.
