What this tracks
This dataset records the locations and technical details of cell towers registered with the FCC in Kansas, including ownership, height, and construction dates.
Why it matters to you
If you’re experiencing poor cell service in Kansas, this data helps you identify whether a tower exists near your home or business—or if one is planned. Residents can use it to advocate for better coverage by contacting the tower owner (ENTITY_NAM) directly. Small businesses relying on mobile transactions (like food trucks or outdoor vendors) can check tower proximity before committing to a location.
How to read this data
ENTITY_NAM — The company that owns the tower, like “CTI Towers Inc.”
STRUCTURE1 — The tower’s street address, such as “1701 N 3RD” in Burlington.
OVERALL_HE — Total height in meters (e.g., 121.9m) — useful for assessing signal range.
STATUS_COD — “C” means the tower is currently active; other codes indicate planned or defunct towers.
Try it yourself
Search the dataset for towers near your Kansas address using STRUCTURE1 or STRUCTUR_3 (city) fields to see if coverage gaps might explain your spotty service.
