COVERAGE RADIUS: 1/10TH OF A MILE OR LESS When most people envision cellular communication networks, they think of what the industry refers to as macrocells, such as those installed on towers or rooftops.
Read moreHow far can cell phones transmit?
What’s interesting is that a cell tower will sometimes have their transmitter seat to a lower power on purpose to ensure it doesn’t interfere with neighboring cells. But even with all of those factors, the typical cell tower can provide service up to 45 miles away. That’s quite impressive!
