Cell towers in Vanves (Hauts-de-Seine)

Masts stand at 1 Rue Marcel Yol, Parc des Expositions, Le Plateau, 101 avenue Victor Hugo, 12 Allee du Platane Plat and 1 rue Marcellin Berthelot.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 18 new systems here. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 2 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 19 avenue Jacques Jezequel. 11 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (14 of 14), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 56 m at 101 avenue Victor Hugo.

3 masts belong to the commune itself; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1995 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in June 2021. 2013 was the busiest year, with 27 new systems, most of them 4G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 5 of its 6 masts, Free Mobile on 5 of its 6 masts, SFR on all 5 masts and Orange on 3 of its 4 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 82% across Hauts-de-Seine towns with five or more masts.

Nearby, Malakoff (810 m to the south-east) has 19 masts, more than here.

4 supports carry only Free Mobile.

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

Among the 36 Hauts-de-Seine towns with at least five masts, Vanves ranks 28th by mast count. With 14 masts for 28,622 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (6).

At 2 km² with 28,622 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.

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