Cell towers in Decines-Charpieu (Rhône)

1 silo and 18 buildings, 10 pylons and 1 water tower carry the commune's antennas.

Masts stand at Rue Geo Chavez, Parc D'Activités des Bruyères, Stade Groupama Stadium, Le Machet, 45 Rue Paul et Marc Barbezat and Prainnet.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 12 new systems here. ANFR has approved 2 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 8 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 12 Avenue Simone Veil and Orange (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at La Sonde. 19 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 opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 52 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (18 of 30), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 45 m at Le Petit Montout.

5 masts carry all four networks.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 13 of its 15 masts, Orange on 11 of its 12 masts, SFR on 11 of its 12 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 10 of its 13 masts.

Chassieu lies 2.7 km to the south and has only 15 masts.

Among the 67 Rhône towns with at least five masts, Decines-Charpieu ranks 9th by mast count. With 30 masts for 29,877 residents, or 10 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

At 17 km² with 29,877 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.

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