Tower 615637
Katy, Texas · Harris County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 615637, this tower in Katy, TX was built in 1993 and rises 113 m (372 ft) from the ground.
Compared with other tower registrations in Texas, it is 43.2% taller than the median of 79 m.
At&t CORP holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 113 m has a theoretical sightline of 44 km (27.3 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Registration density around this point is 10 other structures within a 5 km radius.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 14,588 structures on file for Texas.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 615637. 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.
