broadcasting towers

Airwave transmission structures

Broadcasting towers are tall structures designed to transmit radio, television, or cellular signals over wide areas.

The height allows signals to reach beyond obstacles and terrain.

A single tower may carry multiple antennas for different broadcasters.

The red lights on broadcasting towers warn aircraft at night.
