Place names on the register include St Ambroise, 17 avenue du Mal Juin, Avenue de Corbeil, 3 Place Arthur Chaussy, Mail Gaillardon and 80/80bis rue du Général de Gaulle.

29 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 5 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 337 rue André Lenôtre. 21 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

20 of the 24 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 81 m at 58 boulevard de l'Almont (building). The median is 38 m, above the Seine-et-Marne median of 31 m.

2021 was the busiest year, with 36 new systems, most of them 5G. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1996.

By mast count, Melun is 3rd of the 52 Seine-et-Marne towns that have five or more. With 24 masts for 45,995 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (6).

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 10 of its 11 masts, Free Mobile on all 10 masts, Orange on all 8 masts and SFR on all 6 masts.

Nearby, Le Mee-sur-Seine (2.4 km to the south-west) has only 10 masts.

Of the 24 masts in the commune, Bouygues Telecom is the only carrier on 7 masts.

At 8 km² with 45,995 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA Melun Val de Seine intercommunal grouping.

20 buildings and 4 pylons carry the commune's antennas.
