ANFR lists a 47 m pylon at La Madeleine as the tallest structure. The median is 40 m, above the Marne median of 27 m.

Only Orange broadcasts 5G at 3.5 GHz here, on 1 of its 4 masts. 60% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Marne towns with five or more masts (88%).

2018 was the busiest year, with 18 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in April 2021; Bouygues Telecom followed in March 2025, SFR followed in March 2025. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1998.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 3 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at La Madeleine, Bouygues Telecom (4G 2600 MHz) at Les Vordres and Free Mobile (4G 800 MHz) at Le Gros Chene. 1 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitter is listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, 2 masts carry all four networks.

By mast count, Vertus is 14th of the 14 Marne towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 3,080 residents, or 16 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

Totem is the largest declared owner (2 masts), ahead of TDF (1).

15 km to the north, neighbouring Epernay has 11 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 4.3 km to the south-east of the centre.
