Various telecommunication datasets such as cellphone towers and service areas, land mobile station locations, AM, FM, and TV communication can be downloaded on an FCC page. Additionally, data files can be individually downloaded from the FCC Universal Licensing System data site. This data resource is intended to guide users toward the authoritative data source and to demonstrate at least one translation of that data into a spatial format.The metadata for this translated dataset is here:Antenna Structure Registration: antenna_structure_registration_mn.htmlIn addition, the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Infrastructure Foundation - Level Data (HIFLD) program has an "Open Data" site, which includes a nationwide dataset on Cellular Towers derived from the FCC Universal Licensing System Database: https://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/cellular-towers

In September 2020, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors directed staff to document telecommunication projects completed, in-progress, and future projects, using the 2014 Wireless GAP Analysis and the Segra Dark Fiber Area Network. Staff mapped the data identified by the Board, as well as other information related to telecommunication projects. This information was then used to identify select unserved or underserved geographic areas of the county.The companion interactive map allows the user to turn on or off all layers used in the project.

Utility and Telecom planimetric features derived from the Impervious Surface inventory. This data should not be used for inventory purposes.

More MetadataTelecommunication is used to show the existing telecommunication antenna sites in Loudoun County.

(Link to Metadata) The UtilityTelecom_TELEFAC data layer contains points which are intended to represent the location of telecommunications facilities (towers and/or antennas) in Vermont. 1900 points were derived the FCC Antenna Structure Database (LOCMETH = 1). The remainder of the points were added since 2000 by the Natural Resources Board based on Act 250 permit information. Any many cases the spatial accuracy of the data is questionable, and many of the attributes have null values. Contact Lou Borie for the latest data. Refer to Point_of_Contact below.

The dataset is a spatial representation of communications conduit infrastructure forming part of the communications network carrying data, voice, and video communications around the City

A GPS survey by Allan Riach (Communications Officer, AAD) in September 2001 near Casey Station, Antarctica. The survey was conducted in the western part of Bailey Peninsula. Data collected included the locations of masts, points at which wire feeders change direction, aerial anchor points, a transformer and the receiver hut. Data representing aerials was derived from the locations of masts and aerial anchor points. Data representing feeders was derived from the locations of masts, points at which wire feeders change direction and the receiver hut. This dataset consists of point and line data. The data are included in the GIS data for Casey, available for download from a Related URL below. Data belonging to this dataset has dataset_id = 12. The data are formatted according to the SCAR Feature Catalogue (see Related URL below).

This dataset includes the proposed field camp locations for the 2003/04 science expedition to Heard Island, the locations of the camp sites that were used during the expedition and the locations of some of the refuges on the island that were surveyed during the expedition. It is a point dataset stored in the Geographical Information System (GIS). The proposed field camp locations are shown in a map (refer to link below).

The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, GIS Unit, has created a series of Map Tile Services for use in public web mapping & desktop applications. The link below describes the Basemap, Labels, & Aerial Photographic map services, as well as, how to utilize them in popular JavaScript web mapping libraries and desktop GIS applications. A showcase application, NYC Then&Now (https://maps.nyc.gov/then&now/) is also included on this page.

This dataset represents Microwave Service Towers, which is a part of a communications system that uses a beam of radio waves in the microwave frequency range to transmit video, audio, or data between two locations, which can be from just a few feet or meters to several miles or kilometers apart.This file is an extract of the Universal Licensing System (ULS) licensed by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB).

This layer represents the OIT Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) data set. ''Community Anchor Institutions'' consist of schools, libraries, medical and healthcare providers, public safety entities, community colleges and other institutions of higher education, and other community support organizations and entities. These locations may not offer broadband availability to the public (although most libraries and many schools, and community centers do) but offer an opportunity for policy makers to understand where community anchor institutions which have broadband access are located; this can help in identifying challenges and opportunities to reaching connectivity goals. Although it is constantly being improved upon, ultimately we aim for this data set to evolve into a reliable resource for emergency response services.

Web Map Services - Please note that the endpoint below also offers links for JSON, SOAP, WMS, and WFS. Additionally, the "Google Earth" link allows the user to download a KMZ file representative of the CAI data set.

The Sitefinder dataset contains point locations for mobile phone base stations in the UK. The dataset was released by Ofcom in March 2013 at the end of an extremely protracted legal battle for public release of the data under the Environmental Information Regulations. While this dataset is the most comprehensive publicly available record of base station locations, some of the information is incomplete and/or out of date. Please see the notes enclosed with the data. The raw data was publicly released by Ofcom as a .xlsx spreadsheet on the Sitefinder website, and includes British National Grid and Irish Grid references. The copy available here is in shapefile and csv formats with WGS84 latitude and longitude coordinates added by Owen Boswarva. Please see the enclosed !ReadMe.txt file for notes on licensing and re-use of the dataset. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2013-04-04 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-22.

The Australian Antarctic Data Centre's Mawson Station GIS data were originally mapped from March 1996 aerial photography. Refer to the metadata record 'Mawson Station GIS Dataset'. Since then various features have been added to this data as structures have been removed, moved or established. Some of these features have been surveyed. These surveys have metadata records from which the report describing the survey can be downloaded. However, other features have been 'eyed in' as more accurate data were not available. The eyeing in has been done based on advice from Australian Antarctic Division staff and using as a guide sources such as an aerial photograph, an Engineering plan, a map or a sketch. GPS data or measurements using a measuring tape may also have been used.

The data are included in the data available for download from a Related URL below. The data conform to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information. See a Related URL below. Data described by this metadata record has Dataset_id = 119. Each feature has a Qinfo number which, when entered at the 'Search datasets and quality' tab, provides data quality information for the feature.

A GPS survey by Andrew Ruddell (AAD Glaciology) on 9 March 1999 at Casey Station, Antarctica. The survey was conducted along the road from Casey Station to Old Casey. The aim of the survey was to investigate the cause of the 'disappearance' of road gravel applied to the compacted snow road in the depression between Casey Station to Old Casey. This dataset consists of point data with an elevation (above mean sea level) attribute. The data, in Excel and shapefile formats, and Andrew's report are available for download (see Related URL below).
