Cell towers in Creil (Oise)

Masts stand at 52-54 Rue Gambetta, Tour Carpeaux, 3 boulevard Gabriel Havez, Allee Nelson, 84 rue Jean Baptiste Carpeaux and 2 avenue Pierre et Marie Curie.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (7 of 8), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 70 m at 26 Bld Jean Biondi.

Systems from 1999 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Orange followed in April 2022, SFR followed in October 2022. 2022 was the busiest year, with 34 new systems, most of them 5G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 10 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (5G 700 MHz) at 52-54 Rue Gambetta. 8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

3 masts carry all four networks; 3 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 16 Oise towns with at least five masts, Creil ranks 6th by mast count. With 8 masts for 36,301 residents, or 2 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (6).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on all 6 masts, Bouygues Telecom on all 4 masts, Free Mobile on all 4 masts and SFR on all 4 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 86% across Oise towns with five or more masts.

Nearby, Nogent-sur-Oise (1.9 km to the north-west) has 11 masts, more than here.

At 11 km² with 36,301 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.

Most of the town's 8 masts are buildings (7).

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