Cell towers in Orleans (Loiret)

5 water towers and 62 buildings, 4 pylons and 1 church or religious building carry the commune's antennas.

Antennas are listed at rue des 2 Ponts, Palais des Congres, boulevard Aristide Briand, Parc des Expos, Gymnase Arena and Zenith.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 42 new systems here. ANFR has approved 7 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 19 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 9 rue St Pierre Lentin, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 11 rue Auguste de St Hilaire and Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 55 rue du Coq St Marceau. 42 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

13 masts belong to the commune itself and 2 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1992 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in December 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2019 was the busiest year, with 135 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (62 of 73), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 79 m at 7 avenue de Munster.

3 masts carry all four networks; 21 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 26 Loiret towns with at least five masts, Orleans ranks 1st by mast count. With 73 masts for 116,357 residents, or 6 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (9).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on 27 of its 35 masts, SFR on 16 of its 24 masts, Free Mobile on 14 of its 18 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 12 of its 32 masts.

1.3 km to the south-east, neighbouring Saint-Jean-le-Blanc has only 6 masts.

At 28 km² with 116,357 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Orléans Métropole intercommunal grouping.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
