Communication Tower, Television tower in Waalhaven, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The KPN transmission tower rises 207 meters into the sky, making it the tallest freestanding broadcast structure without cable support in the Netherlands.

Constructed in 1962 by PTT for the national telephone network's microwave link system, the tower initially measured 106 meters before its extension in 1983.

The tower functions as a central point for regional broadcasting, supporting multiple radio and television signals that connect the Rotterdam metropolitan area.

The transmission facility contains four platforms equipped with antennas that distribute FM radio, DAB+, television signals, and mobile telecommunications across the region.

Engineers employed the same slipform construction technique used for Rotterdam's Euromast to build this concrete telecommunications structure.
