Lattice tower 2709330
Alpine, Texas · Brewster County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 2709330, this lattice tower about 13 km (8.0 mi) from Alpine, TX was built in 2019 and rises 61 m (199 ft) from the ground.
It is taller than 40.7% of the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, placing it 8645th statewide.
Vb Bts III, 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.
From 61 m up, the horizon sits about 32 km (19.9 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 6 km (3.7 mi) to the E, standing 12 m tall.
Its county accounts for 40 of the 14,588 structures registered across Texas.

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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
