3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 2 of its 3 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 3 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed. 60% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Rhône towns with five or more masts (87%).

2015 was the busiest year, with 9 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Bouygues Telecom followed in February 2021, Orange followed in December 2022. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1997.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 2 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Chemin du Michon and Free Mobile (4G 800 MHz) at Planche Billet. 2 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

By mast count, Vaugneray is 67th of the 67 Rhône towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 6,304 residents, or 8 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

Nearby, Brindas (3.4 km to the south-east) has 8 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.7 km to the east of the centre.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks.

Supports split between 4 pylons and 1 building.
