Declared locations include Le Pas des Fontaines, Souillac, Le Canton des Fourchettes, Souillac Nord, Le Canton des Bergauds and Les Près de Gadebourg.

ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 3 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G) at Bois du Menard and SFR (3G and 4G) at Bois du Menard. 2 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The tallest structure is a 42 m pylon at Bois des Landes. The median height of measured supports is 33 m.

40% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Charente-Maritime towns with five or more masts (93%).

2020 was the busiest year, with 22 new systems, most of them 4G. SFR opened 5G here in June 2023; Bouygues Telecom followed in October 2023, Free Mobile followed in August 2024. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2005.

Of the 10 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

By mast count, Clerac is 6th of the 20 Charente-Maritime towns that have five or more.

TDF is the largest declared owner (4 masts), ahead of Totem (2).

18 km to the south-west, neighbouring Cezac has only 6 masts.

1,074 residents over 44 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops. It is part of the CC de la Haute Saintonge intercommunal grouping.
