Cell towers in Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle)

4 churches or religious buildings and 70 buildings, 5 pylons and 1 historic monument carry the commune's antennas.

Antennas are listed at Residence la Pepiniere, 1/3 Boulevard de l'American Légion, 131 avenue Gal Leclerc, 27 rue du Colonel Granval, 57 Av. Mal de Lattre de Tassigny and 27 A rue du Cardinal Mathieu.

8 masts belong to the commune itself and 1 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1997 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom switched on the first 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 167 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 38 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 21 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (5G 3.5 GHz) at 26 rue de l'Abbé Grégoire, Bouygues Telecom (3G 900 MHz) at 19 rue Chanoine Jacob and Bouygues Telecom (3G 900 MHz) at 22 B rue de Nabécor. 46 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (70 of 80), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 102 m at 4 rue Piroux.

4 masts carry all four networks.

Among the 28 Meurthe-et-Moselle towns with at least five masts, Nancy ranks 1st by mast count. With 80 masts for 103,671 residents, or 8 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 30 of its 36 masts, Free Mobile on 27 of its 29 masts, SFR on 24 of its 31 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 12 of its 39 masts.

Nearby, Tomblaine (2.3 km to the east) has only 5 masts.

At 15 km² with 103,671 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole du Grand Nancy intercommunal grouping.

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