How high can a cell phone tower be?

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!

Traditional cell towers, typically stand-alone towers, and they can be between 50-400 feet . The tallest towers can give service up to a range of 40 miles.

4G wavelengths have a range of about 10 miles . 5G wavelengths have a range of about 1,000 feet, not even 2% of 4G’s range. So to ensure a reliable 5G signal, there needs to be a lot of 5G cell towers and antennas everywhere.
