Cell towers in Bron (Rhône)

Antennas are listed at Porte des Essarts, 3 avenue de Verdun, 95 Boulevard Pinel, Saint Jean, Champ du Pont and 191 B Avenue St Exupery.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 8 new systems here. ANFR has approved 3 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 3 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 4 Rue Jean Bouin, Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 4 Rue Jean Bouin and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 16 Rue Jean Voillot. 17 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom switched on the first 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 62 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (25 of 32), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 43 m at 26 rue Jean Voillot.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 12 of its 13 masts, SFR on 11 of its 13 masts, Orange on all 8 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 7 of its 10 masts.

4 km to the north-west, neighbouring Villeurbanne has 115 masts, more than here.

Among the 67 Rhône towns with at least five masts, Bron ranks 8th by mast count. With 32 masts for 42,982 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

At 10 km² with 42,982 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole de Lyon intercommunal grouping.

Most of the town's 32 masts are buildings (25).

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
