ANFR has approved 2 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 2 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at Le Garras Nord and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at La Buyetiere. 7 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 3 of its 4 masts, SFR on all 3 masts and Orange on its only mast. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed.

2021 was the busiest year, with 13 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2002.

ANFR lists a 26 m pylon at La Combe as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 26 m.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.8 km to the south-west of the centre.

2.1 km to the south-west, neighbouring La Talaudiere has less 5G (86%).

Most of the town's 6 masts are pylons (5).
