Great. Thank you, Cody, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today as we discuss our first quarter 2022 results. With me on the call this morning are Jay Brown, Crown Castle's chief executive officer; and Dan Schlanger, Crown Castle's chief financial officer.
To aid the discussion, we have posted supplemental materials in the Investors section of our website at crowncastle.com that will be referenced throughout the call this morning.

Jay Brown -- Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Ben, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us on the call. As you saw from our first-quarter results yesterday and our increased full-year outlook, the strength of the U.S. market continues to stand out.
We are seeing the benefits of a strong leasing environment as we support our customers' deployment of 5G. As a result, we expect to deliver another year of 6% organic tower revenue growth in 2022, once again leading the tower industry in the U.S. I'm also excited about the progress our team is making to scale our small cell capabilities to accelerate the pace of deployments from approximately 5,000 nodes we expect to deliver this year to more than 10,000 per year starting in 2023. Looking further out, I believe our strategy, an unmatched portfolio of more than 40,000 towers and approximately 115,000 small cells on air or under contract and 80,000 route miles of fiber concentrated in the top U.S.
