Frequently Asked Questions About Cell Towers in New Hampshire
How many cell phone towers are there in New Hampshire?
According to the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database, there are 146 registered cellular towers in New Hampshire. The map on this page pulls live from the FCC service, so the count reflects the most recent filings — typically within 30–60 days of changes being filed with the Commission.
Who owns the most cell towers in New Hampshire?
The largest licensee in New Hampshire is NH #1 RURAL CELLULAR., which is the FCC-registered owner of 95 towers in the state. The next largest is Rural Cellular with 25 towers. Remember that an FCC licensee is not always the consumer-facing carrier — many sites are owned by tower companies (American Tower, Crown Castle, SBA Communications) and leased to multiple carriers.
Which county in New Hampshire has the most cell towers?
Hillsborough County has the most registered cellular towers in New Hampshire with 43 towers. See the full county breakdown above for the top 10.
How tall are the cell towers in New Hampshire?
The average tower height in New Hampshire is 49 m (about 161 ft), and the tallest registered structure reaches 180 m (about 591 ft). The FCC ASR records structure heights in metres; we show metres alongside the imperial conversion. Heights are overall structure heights above ground level, including antennas and appurtenances, and exclude towers below the ASR registration threshold.
Can I download a list of cell towers in New Hampshire?
Yes. Enable the “Select towers within N miles” tool on the map above, click anywhere to set a center point, and the map will highlight every tower inside that radius. Then use Export CSV or Export GeoJSON to download the selection for use in a spreadsheet, GIS, or Google Earth. All data comes straight from the FCC ASR and is free to use.
Does this map show 5G small cells in New Hampshire?
No. The FCC Antenna Structure Registration system tracks structures over 200 ft tall or sites near airports. Small cells, DAS nodes, and rooftop antennas below that threshold do not require ASR registration and therefore do not appear on the map. The 146 towers shown are the macro cell sites that back-haul most cellular traffic in New Hampshire.
