About
Detailed geospatial data is available for almost 20,000 cell towers operated by Verizon and AT&T across the United States of America. This data provides critical context regarding mobile communication infrastructure, detailing how cellular signals are received by antennae and transmitted via switching centres to establish calls. The records include specifications on the type of structure used for the towers, such as TOWER, BTOWER, GTOWER, LTOWER, and MTOWER.
Columns
The dataset contains 10 distinct columns:
- id: Serves as the primary key for the dataset.
- license: Identifies the cell tower license owner (either Verizon or AT&T).
- address: The physical location of the cell tower.
- city: The city where the cell tower is situated.
- county: The administrative county location of the cell tower.
- state: The state location of the cell tower. The state distribution indicates that Texas (TX) is the most common state, accounting for 11% of records.
- structure: The total measured height of the structure in meters. Heights range from 3 meters up to 610 meters.
- structure_type: Specifies the category of the cell tower structure (e.g., TOWER, LTOWER).
- latitude: The geographical coordinate defining the tower's north-south position.
- longitude: The geographical coordinate defining the tower's east-west position.
Distribution
The data is provided in a CSV file named
celltowers.csv, which has a size of 2.27 MB. It contains approximately 19.9 thousand validated records, covering 10 columns. The data quality appears very high, with 100% of the records validated and zero missing or mismatched values reported across the fields.Usage
This data has a high usability rating, making it suitable for analysis in several fields. Ideal applications include infrastructure planning and maintenance, geographical information system (GIS) mapping for telecommunications coverage, studies of radio frequency (RF) propagation, and analysis of market share based on physical infrastructure density between the two main operators.
Coverage
The geographic scope covers cell tower locations across the entire United States. The records specifically pertain to infrastructure owned by two major telecommunications providers: Verizon and AT&T. The information presented is static, as the expected update frequency is 'Never'.
