Guyed tower 2701689
Angleton, Texas · Brazoria County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 2701689 about 16 km (9.8 mi) from Angleton, TX as a guyed tower. Overall height above ground is 170 m, or 556 ft.
The median guyed tower in Texas is 102 m tall across 2,467 registrations, so this one sits 66.0% above the typical height for its type.
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.
At 170 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 54 km (33.3 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 7.4 km (4.6 mi), the nearest 3 m to the W.
Its county accounts for 199 of the 14,588 structures registered across Texas.

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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 2701689, which gives a construction date of 2018. 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.
