| Title | Pager Tower Locations | |||
| Abstract | Pager tower locations as recorded by the Federal Communications Commission, extracted from the FCC Universal Licensing System Database. | |||
| Purpose | With these data sets, users are able to determine the locations and limited technical details of existing towers the FCC collects data on (i.e. Cellular, Paging, Microwave, AM, FM, etc.). This information can be extremely helpful in conducting analysis such as: current service deployment, need/feasibility determinations of new services, colocation of antenna structures, inventorying of structures, network planning, etc. | |||
