Sunrise Mountain - High-Elevation Tower Site
Frontier Radio’s Sunrise site has been a cornerstone of Southern Nevada’s communication network since its first towers were erected in 1952. Strategically located 2400 feet above the city on the peak of Frenchman Mountain, this location provides coverage over all of Las Vegas and into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Its unique geography makes it one of the most strategic transmission points in the region, ensuring seamless connectivity for both government agencies and private telecommunications providers throughout the Clark County area.
Coverage and Location Advantages
The Sunrise Mountain site is ideally suited for applications that require maximum coverage, reliability, and efficient wide area signal distribution across the Las Vegas Valley. Its high elevation position on Frenchman Mountain Peak makes it particularly effective for broadcast operations such as LPFM and LPTV, where extended service contours and signal strength are critical. The site is also well suited for wireless internet service providers (WISPs), cellular, microwave backhaul, and point to point networks, where clear line of sight and reduced interference support long distance, high reliability links. Public safety agencies, utilities, and government networks benefit from the site’s predictable RF performance and broad geographic reach. In addition, Sunrise supports private wireless networks, paging systems, and two way radio operations that require dependable, valley wide coverage from a single, strategically positioned location. Designed for long term deployments, the site provides a strong foundation for any system where coverage, stability, and performance are the primary objectives.
Design and Capabilities
Sunrise is designed to support wireless propagation within a reliable, professionally maintained communications facility. The property is fully fenced and secured, with controlled access, monitoring, and alarmed building systems.
The site hosts a 60-foot tower, a 30-foot cell tower, and multiple 2-inch galvanized rooftop mounting poles, providing flexible antenna placement options for a wide range of applications. Exterior cable ladders run from the building up the cliff to the tower structures, allowing for clean, organized, and scalable cable routing. The shelter has multiple power outlets, equipment racks, and a cable management system to support efficient installations and dependable operation. Redundancy, including backup air conditioners and generator power, help maintain continuous service. The facility is maintained to support reliable operation, convenient access, and stable performance in a demanding environment.
