56 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Declared supports include 56 underground or tunnel sites, 1 bridge or viaduct and 1 road gantry, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 123 new systems here. ANFR has approved 10 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 63 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 1 Rue Meryon, Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 56 Boulevard de l Amiral Bruix and Free Mobile (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz). 104 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

33 masts belong to the commune itself and 2 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1993 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom switched on the first 5G here in November 2020; Orange followed in March 2021, SFR followed in March 2021. 2013 was the busiest year, with 737 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (175 of 241), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 96 m at 116 Av. du Président Kennedy.

16 masts carry all four networks.

Among the 21 Paris towns with at least five masts, Paris 16 Passy ranks 2nd by mast count. With 241 masts for 159,386 residents, or 15 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 63 of its 92 masts, Orange on 56 of its 92 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 46 of its 101 masts and SFR on 45 of its 100 masts.

Nearby, Neuilly-sur-Seine (2.4 km to the north) has only 50 masts.

At 16 km² with 159,386 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.

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