Cell towers in Rion-des-Landes (Landes)

1 water tower and 6 pylons carry the commune's antennas.

Declared locations include 86 Rue Nicolas Bremontier, Pelletet, Menjuc, 355 Rue de Lahore and Laygue.

Only Free Mobile broadcasts 5G at 3.5 GHz here, on 1 of its 3 masts.

2021 was the busiest year, with 12 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in December 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in December 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2001.

15 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (5G 2100 MHz) at Menjuc. 2 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

ANFR lists a 48 m water tower at Menjuc as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 39 m.

Of the 7 masts in the commune, Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

Supports leave a gap of about 2.3 km to the north-east of the centre.

Pontonx-sur-l'Adour lies 16 km to the south and has 5 masts declared.

By mast count, Rion-des-Landes is 10th of the 28 Landes towns that have five or more. With 7 masts for 3,142 residents, or 22 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).
