Cell towers in Ploufragan (Côtes-d'Armor)

Declared supports include 1 water tower, with pylons making up most of the remainder.

Declared locations include Allee du Haut Champ, Le Champ du Pont, Parc D'Activités des Châtelets, rue Pierre de Coubertin, Colody and Le Clos aux Chevaux.

2018 was the busiest year, with 32 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in June 2021; Bouygues Telecom followed in September 2021, SFR followed in October 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

13 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 4 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at rue des Chemots, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at Le Clos aux Chevaux and Free Mobile (4G and 5G) at Le Champ du Pont. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 76 m at ZI les Châtelets (water tower). The median height of measured supports is 32 m.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 4 of its 6 masts, Free Mobile on 3 of its 5 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 5 masts and SFR on 1 of its 4 masts.

Supports leave a gap of about 2 km to the west of the centre.

3.5 km to the north-east, neighbouring Saint-Brieuc has 16 masts, more than here.

Of the 11 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

By mast count, Ploufragan is 4th of the 30 Côtes-d'Armor towns that have five or more. With 11 masts for 11,507 residents, or 10 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

11,507 residents over 27 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops. It is part of the CA Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération intercommunal grouping.
