Cell towers in Limoges (Haute-Vienne)

Most of the town's 92 masts are buildings (62); 3 water towers and 1 church or religious building make up the rest of the mix.

Antennas are listed at Beaubreuil, 50 avenue du Général Leclerc, Les Audouines, 5 Rue du Mas Bilier, L'Age and Aéroport Limoges-Bellegarde.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (62 of 92), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 85 m at rue de Fougeras.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 89 new systems here. ANFR has approved 6 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 18 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 4 rue de la Roche au Go, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 13 Rue Ferdinand Malinvaud and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 2 Rue Legouve. 62 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

6 masts belong to the commune itself and 12 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1993 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Orange followed in May 2021, SFR followed in August 2021. 2021 was the busiest year, with 218 new systems, most of them 5G.

4 masts carry all four networks; 37 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 14 Haute-Vienne towns with at least five masts, Limoges ranks 1st by mast count. With 92 masts for 129,937 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on 43 of its 49 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 30 of its 35 masts, SFR on 30 of its 34 masts and Free Mobile on 29 of its 33 masts.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 2.7 km, to the north-east of the centre.

Isle lies 3.6 km to the south-west and has only 8 masts.

At 80 km² with 129,937 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CU Limoges Métropole intercommunal grouping.

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