Cell towers in Le Vigen (Haute-Vienne)

Masts stand at Maison Neuve, Le Bas Faure, La Croix de l'Arbre, Le Puy Mathieu and Le Bourg.

The declared supports are a 30 m pylon, at Maison Neuve, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR; a 99 m radio relay tower, at Le Bas Faure, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange and SFR; a 56 m pylon, at La Croix de l'Arbre, for Bouygues Telecom and SFR; a 44 m pylon, at Le Puy Mathieu, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR; a 33 m pylon, at Le Bourg, for Free Mobile.

Every mast here is owned by a tower company rather than by a carrier. Mix: TDF (2), Hivory (1) and Cellnex (1).

ANFR lists a 99 m radio relay tower at Le Bas Faure as the tallest structure. The median is 44 m, above the Haute-Vienne median of 34 m.

Systems from 1998 are still on the register. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in October 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in October 2021. 2022 was the busiest year, with 15 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 11 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G 700 MHz) at La Croix de l'Arbre and SFR (4G 700 MHz) at La Croix de l'Arbre. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Among the 14 Haute-Vienne towns with at least five masts, Le Vigen ranks 13th by mast count. With 5 masts for 2,310 residents, or 22 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 2 of its 3 masts, Orange on all 2 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 4 masts and SFR on 1 of its 4 masts.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 4.5 km, to the south-west of the centre.

6.4 km to the north-west, neighbouring Condat-sur-Vienne has 5 masts declared.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

4 pylons and 1 radio relay tower carry the commune's antennas.

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