Location (lat, long) of cell towers across the USA

Question

Does anyone know of any complete database of cell tower locations with the following information?

Lat, long of cell tower
MCC, MNC, LAC, Cell ID
Range
Signal strength

I have checked out the data from Open Cell ID, RadioCell, and Mylnikov and they seem to be incomplete. Some lat-long is randomly placed on an empty open field. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

it's not the US, but maybe interesting for others:

Switzerland (official) cellular data/maps

GSM: https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.bakom.mobil-antennenstandorte-gsm/

LTE: https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.bakom.mobil-antennenstandorte-lte/

UMTS: https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.bakom.mobil-antennenstandorte-umts/

Answer 2

You can try search in gsm coverage maps, some ones has maps, but you can try fetch kml data

Answer 3

You may be able to get tower locations from OSM

See this answer about downloading bulk files (entire US) and then filtering for specific tags (for example, communication=mobile_phone)
