Cell towers in Amiens (Somme)

3 churches or religious buildings and 35 buildings, 13 pylons and 1 water tower carry the commune's antennas.

Declared locations include 70/72 rue des Jacobins, rue de Vaux - ZI de Lompré, 49 rue Alexandre Dumas, 31 rue Riolan, 20 boulevard de la 2ème Db and 240 rue de Rouen.

39 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 14 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Rue de Poulainville. 24 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The commune owns 3 of the 52 masts, Totem owns 5.

2013 was the busiest year, with 124 new systems, most of them 4G. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in December 2020; Orange followed in July 2021, SFR followed in August 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

35 of the 52 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 67 m at 18 rue Guynemer (building). The median height of measured supports is 28 m.

Of the 52 masts in the commune, 8 masts carry all four networks.

By mast count, Amiens is 1st of the 6 Somme towns that have five or more. With 52 masts for 136,449 residents, or 4 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (8).

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 24 of its 28 masts, Free Mobile on 15 of its 21 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 11 of its 28 masts and SFR on 11 of its 29 masts.

Nearby, Albert (28 km to the north-east) has only 7 masts.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.5 km to the north-west of the centre.

At 50 km² with 136,449 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA Amiens Métropole intercommunal grouping.
