Lattice tower 2712846
Millington, Tennessee · Shelby County
Overview
Dating from the 2000s, this lattice tower about 16 km (9.9 mi) from Millington, TN is registered as ASR 2712846 and reaches 107 m (350 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 92.2% of the 3,741 registered structures in Tennessee, placing it 291st statewide.
Registration is held by Shelby County Sheriff'S Department, which owns 2 of the structures registered in Millington, TN.
From 107 m up, the horizon sits about 43 km (26.4 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 3 m to the E, standing 98 m tall.
The site lies 16 km (9.9 mi) outside Millington, 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 2712846. 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.
