Cell towers in Orcines (Puy-de-Dôme)

Masts stand at Le Puy de Dome, Sarcenat, Le Puy de Fontanas, La Baraque and Montrodeix.

The declared supports are a 20 m building, at Le Puy de Dome, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange and SFR; a 30 m pylon, at Sarcenat, for SFR; a 10 m building, at Le Puy de Fontanas, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR; a 30 m pylon, at La Baraque, for Orange; a 25 m pylon, at Montrodeix, for Orange.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: SFR on 2 of its 3 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 2 masts and Orange on 1 of its 3 masts. No 3.5 GHz from Free Mobile here, only 700 MHz.

Systems from 1998 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in August 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in January 2022. 2016 was the busiest year, with 15 new systems, most of them 4G.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (4G and 5G) at Le Puy de Dome. 3 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

ANFR lists a 30 m pylon at La Baraque as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 25 m.

Among the 25 Puy-de-Dôme towns with at least five masts, Orcines ranks 24th by mast count.

2 masts belong to Totem and 1 to TDF.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 2.9 km, to the south-west of the centre. Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

4.4 km to the east, neighbouring Chamalieres has a higher 5G share (100%).

Only one mast carries all four networks.

Most of the town's 5 masts are pylons (3).

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