Nearby, Pessac (3.8 km to the north) has 34 masts, more than here.

Of the 14 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Bouygues Telecom is the only carrier on 4 masts.

By mast count, Gradignan is 17th of the 62 Gironde towns that have five or more. With 14 masts for 26,952 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (10).
