Cell towers in Saint-Jean-de-Braye (Loiret)

Declared supports include 2 water towers, with pylons making up most of the remainder.

Masts stand at avenue de Verdun, 14 Avenue François Rabelais, Chem de la Latte, 7 rue Isaac Newton, 2 avenue du Gl Leclerc and Les Bas Avaux.

2 masts belong to the commune itself and 4 to Cellnex; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1995 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Bouygues Telecom followed in January 2021. 2021 was the busiest year, with 48 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 13 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 6 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at avenue de Verdun, Bouygues Telecom (3G 900 MHz) at 126 avenue Louis Joseph Soulas and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 14 Avenue François Rabelais. 10 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 54 m at avenue de Verdun (water tower). The median is 27 m, slightly below the Loiret median of 31 m.

Only one mast carries all four networks; 5 supports carry only Bouygues Telecom.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on all 9 masts, Free Mobile on 4 of its 6 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 3 of its 8 masts and SFR on 3 of its 4 masts.

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

Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

Among the 26 Loiret towns with at least five masts, Saint-Jean-de-Braye ranks 5th by mast count. With 16 masts for 23,147 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (9).

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