Which US Tower Companies Were Most Active in Jan. 2024?
We examined applications for environmental notice to the FCC for the last month. Here are the companies that have been most active in submitting to the FCC over that time frame. Notably, Tillman is still active, outpacing other tower companies. Vertical Bridge is next up with 36 new submissions, primarily under a subsidiary named “The Towers, LLC.” Verizon (including Alltel) and AT&T also crack the top 5. Boldyn Networks was previously Mobilitie. There are also a number of mid-sized tower companies on the list. Many of these new towers are being built as build-to-suit towers for AT&T and Verizon, along with a lesser number of towers for T-Mobile.
Compare this to our list of the top tower companies in the United States organized by number of towers.

Thank you for your work on this blog, it is very informative!
What applications for environmental notices to the FCC are you using to pull this data?
The formal title is “Applications on Environmental Notice” within the ASR submittal system.
Hello! I think this will be a great way to keep informed on what’s going on in the industry.
Could you please include Alaska in this report. That is where my interest is.
Thank you!
What will the environmental review entail?
Randy.
Sure- when we run the next one- will include Alaska. The environmental review is required on all new towers. Basically, it includes checks that there are no archaeological artifacts, that it doesn’t impact fish or wildlife, no Indian burial grounds, and no hazardous waste.
How much property do I need for a cell tower
Typically, around 50’x50′ to 100’x100′ for the lease area if the site is a monopole or lattice tower, a few acres if the tower is a guyed tower.
