Cell towers in Saint-Andre-lez-Lille (Nord)

1 church or religious building and 6 buildings, 2 pylons and 1 mast carry the commune's antennas.

Place names on the register include avenue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, Av. du Général Leclercq, 9 Rue Henri Dunant, Les Muchaux, Place du Général de Gaulle and Ste Hélène.

2013 was the busiest year, with 10 new systems, most of them 4G. Orange opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in June 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1992.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G 2100 MHz) at 30 Rue Pierre Curie. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

6 of the 10 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 53 m at Place du Général de Gaulle (church or religious building). The median is 25 m, slightly below the Nord median of 30 m.

Of the 10 masts in the commune, Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Free Mobile on all 4 masts, Orange on 3 of its 4 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 2 of its 3 masts and SFR on all 2 masts.

1.6 km to the north-east, neighbouring Marquette-lez-Lille has 10 masts declared.

Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

At 3 km² with 13,233 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole Européenne de Lille intercommunal grouping.
