Cell towers in Baume-les-Dames (Doubs)

Place names on the register include Ferme de Sombeveau, Les Vignottes, Les Menières, La Plaine Faye, Aux Courvées and 9 Rue des Abbayes.

The highest support stands 60 m at Les Menières (pylon). The median is 35 m, above the Doubs median of 30 m.

2024 was the busiest year, with 17 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in February 2021; SFR followed in September 2024, Bouygues Telecom followed in October 2024. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1998.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 9 Rue des Abbayes. 4 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 2 of its 3 masts, Orange on 2 of its 4 masts, SFR on 2 of its 3 masts and Free Mobile on 1 of its 4 masts. 63% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Doubs towns with five or more masts (86%).

Of the 8 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

28 km to the south-west, neighbouring Besancon has 84 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 2.3 km to the west of the centre.

By mast count, Baume-les-Dames is 6th of the 9 Doubs towns that have five or more. With 8 masts for 5,155 residents, or 16 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (9).

5,155 residents over 25 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.

7 pylons and 1 building carry the commune's antennas.
