Cell towers in Loon-Plage (Nord)

Most of the town's 8 masts are pylons (7); 1 church or religious building make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at ZI Port Fluvial, Place de l'Eglise, rue Blanchard, Route de la Maison Blanche, 10 rue de l'Aven and Route des Dunes.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on all 4 masts and Free Mobile on 3 of its 4 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 83% across Nord towns with five or more masts.

Systems from 2002 are still on the register. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; Orange followed in March 2022, Bouygues Telecom followed in September 2024. 2017 was the busiest year, with 30 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 9 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 2 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Place de l'Eglise, Free Mobile (4G 2100 MHz) at 10 rue de l'Aven and SFR (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Place de l'Eglise. 2 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The tallest structure is a 38 m pylon at Route de la Maison Blanche. The median height of measured supports is 33 m.

6.1 km to the east, neighbouring Grande-Synthe has 15 masts, more than here.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 2.4 km, to the north-west of the centre.

Colocation covers 4 supports.

Among the 94 Nord towns with at least five masts, Loon-Plage ranks 53rd by mast count. With 8 masts for 5,952 residents, or 13 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (9).

5,952 residents over 42 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.

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