Cell towers in Oullins (Rhône)

1 water tower and 17 buildings carry the commune's antennas.

Declared locations include La Sarra, 2-4 rue de la Camille, 2 Boulevard du Général de Gaulle, 127 rue Salvador Allendé, 97 Boulevard Emile Zola and 1 Passage de la Ville.

17 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 3 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 8 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 9 B avenue des Saules, Orange (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 12 Impasse du Mont Blanc and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 32 Rue Narcisse Bertholey. 10 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2021 was the busiest year, with 30 new systems, most of them 5G. Local 5G started with SFR in December 2020; Free Mobile followed in July 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in December 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

17 of the 18 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 43 m at Chem de Montmein (water tower). The median is 21 m, slightly below the Rhône median of 26 m.

Of the 18 masts in the commune, Bouygues Telecom is the only carrier on 6 masts.

By mast count, Oullins is 17th of the 67 Rhône towns that have five or more. With 18 masts for 38,168 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Free Mobile on all 8 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 5 of its 7 masts, SFR on 4 of its 5 masts and Orange on 3 of its 4 masts.

Nearby, La Mulatiere (1.6 km to the north) has only 11 masts.

At 9 km² with 38,168 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.
