ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on one existing mast. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Le Bois Juge. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

No mast is operator-owned: TDF has 2, Hivory has 1 and Phoenix France Infrastructures has 1.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 3 of its 4 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 2 of its 3 masts and SFR on 2 of its 3 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed.

2022 was the busiest year, with 25 new systems, most of them 4G. Local 5G started with SFR in October 2022; Bouygues Telecom followed in November 2022, Orange followed in November 2023. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2008.

The tallest structure is a 38 m pylon at place Francois Quesnay. The median height of measured supports is 30 m.

By mast count, La Creche is 11th of the 12 Deux-Sèvres towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 5,662 residents, or 9 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).

6 km to the west, neighbouring Chauray has 8 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 3.1 km to the north-west of the centre.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks.
