Cell towers in Chaponost (Rhône)

Most of the town's 12 masts are pylons (7); 2 water towers and 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon make up the rest of the mix.

Declared locations include Le Milon, place Georges Clemenceau, Les Collonges, Route de la Gare, Chante Grillet and 65 rue Jules Verne.

2019 was the busiest year, with 16 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Bouygues Telecom followed in October 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

ANFR lists a 49 m water tower at Le Milon as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 27 m.

Of the 12 masts in the commune, Free Mobile is the only carrier on 4 masts.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on all 4 masts, Free Mobile on 4 of its 6 masts, SFR on all 3 masts and Orange on 2 of its 3 masts. 100% of the town's masts carry 5G, more than across Rhône towns with five or more masts (87%).

8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Supports leave a gap of about 2 km to the east of the centre.

3.4 km to the north-east, neighbouring Francheville has a church or religious building among its supports.

9,382 residents over 16 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops. It is part of the CC de la Vallée du Garon (CCVG) intercommunal grouping.

Of the 118 systems declared here, 26 are installed but not yet in commercial service (ANFR, as of October 2026).
