Cell towers in Couhe (Vienne)

Most of the town's 9 masts are pylons (8); 1 water tower make up the rest of the mix.

Antennas are listed at Les Chaumes, Pas l'Abbe, Les Coudraies, Le Coureau, Le Bois de Torsac and Les Tranchis Couhe.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 6 masts, Orange on 1 of its 5 masts and SFR on 1 of its 5 masts. No 3.5 GHz from Free Mobile here, only 700 MHz.

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in December 2020; SFR followed in November 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in November 2021. 2023 was the busiest year, with 19 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 17 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G) at Pas l'Abbe and SFR (4G and 5G) at Pas l'Abbe. 6 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 51 m at rue des Fontaines (water tower). The median height of measured supports is 33 m.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 3 km, to the east of the centre.

Chaunay lies 10 km to the south and has only 6 masts.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

4,325 residents over 83 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.

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