Coverage distance of communication towers
While the typical coverage radius of a cell tower is 1 to 3 miles and in dense urban environments, a cell tower usually reaches 0. 25 miles to 1 mile before handing off a user's connection to another nearby cell site. This calculator estimates how far a cellular tower can "see" a mobile device over the Earth's curvature, and then converts that into an idealized coverage area. Before we delve into the specifics, let's briefly discuss what 5G technology entails. Cell towers, also known as base transceiver stations (BTS), are the backbone of mobile networks.
