There are two transmission towers on the summit region of the Nordhelle: the 130-metre-high WDR tower of the Nordhelle Transmitter and, roughly 215 metres northeast of it, a Bundeswehr communication tower, which is made of reinforced concrete and used for mobile telephony. About 1.2 km east-southeast of the mountaintop on a neighbouring mountain, the Waldberg, stands the Ebbegebirge Communication Tower, which was called the Lüdenscheid Transmitter until the introduction of DVB-T.
