Cell towers in Craponne (Rhône)

Masts stand at La Gatoliere, Le Grand Champ, 612 rue Pierre Auguste Roiret, 5bis Rue Jean Claude Martin, 13 Rue des Aqueducs and 13 rue des Acqueducs.

ANFR has approved 2 new sites that are not live yet. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G) at 15 Rue de Verdun and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 15 Rue des Aqueducs. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

ANFR lists a 21 m mast at 13 rue des Acqueducs as the tallest structure. The median is 19 m, slightly below the Rhône median of 26 m.

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Bouygues Telecom followed in February 2021, SFR followed in July 2021. 2019 was the busiest year, with 14 new systems, most of them 4G.

4 supports carry only Bouygues Telecom.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on all 3 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 2 of its 4 masts, Orange on all 2 masts and SFR on its only mast.

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

At 5 km² with 12,084 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.

5 buildings and 3 pylons and 1 mast carry the commune's antennas.

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