Cell towers in Raon-l'Etape (Vosges)

Masts stand at Le Banbois, 9 Rue des Primevères, Château Robert, Le Hagis and Côte de Beauregard.

The declared supports are a 25 m pylon, at Le Banbois, for Orange; a 22 m building, at 9 Rue des Primevères, for Orange; a 30 m pylon, at Château Robert, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR; a 33 m pylon, at Le Hagis, for Orange; a 28 m pylon, at Côte de Beauregard, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR.

Every mast here is owned by a tower company rather than by a carrier. Mix: Totem (4) and TDF (1).

Systems from 1998 are still on the register. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in June 2023, Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2023. 2023 was the busiest year, with 11 new systems, most of them 5G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on all 4 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 2 masts, Free Mobile on its only mast and SFR on 1 of its 2 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 83% across Vosges towns with five or more masts.

ANFR lists a 33 m pylon at Le Hagis as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 28 m.

3 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 12 Vosges towns with at least five masts, Raon-l'Etape ranks 10th by mast count. With 5 masts for 5,886 residents, or 8 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

16 km to the south-west, neighbouring Rambervillers has less 5G (83%).

3 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Supports split between 4 pylons and 1 building.

Of the 61 systems declared here, 16 are installed but not yet in commercial service (ANFR, as of October 2026).
