26 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 3 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 9 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G 1800 MHz) at 32 Cours Michelet, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 57 Esplanade du General de Gaulle and Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 53 - 57 B rue Gambetta. 31 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The commune owns 2 of the 57 masts, TDF owns 1.

2013 was the busiest year, with 102 new systems, most of them 4G. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; Orange followed in November 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 15 of its 25 masts, Free Mobile on 14 of its 15 masts, SFR on 8 of its 18 masts and Orange on 7 of its 15 masts. 63% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Hauts-de-Seine towns with five or more masts (82%).

44 of the 57 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 148 m at place de la Defense (building). The median height of measured supports is 26 m.

Of the 57 masts in the commune, 2 masts carry all four networks, and Bouygues Telecom is the only carrier on 16 masts.

By mast count, Puteaux is 4th of the 36 Hauts-de-Seine towns that have five or more. With 57 masts for 44,002 residents, or 13 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (6).

Suresnes lies 1.5 km to the south-west and has only 28 masts.

At 3 km² with 44,002 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole du Grand Paris intercommunal grouping.
