Cell towers in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Most of the town's 11 masts are buildings (7); 1 church or religious building make up the rest of the mix.

Place names on the register include 19 avenue André Ithurralde, Etchebiague, 162 Rue Belharra, 11 Avenue Andre Ithurralde, Ur Mendi and 50 Promenade Jacques Thibaud.

11 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 3 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on one existing mast. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at Stade Rugby, Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Saint Joseph and Orange (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Stade de Rugby. 8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

7 of the 11 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 49 m at Ur Mendi (pylon). The median is 24 m, slightly below the Pyrénées-Atlantiques median of 29 m.

2021 was the busiest year, with 23 new systems, most of them 5G. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in December 2020; SFR followed in June 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in July 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1999.

Of the 11 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 4 masts.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on all 4 masts, Free Mobile on 4 of its 5 masts, Orange on 4 of its 6 masts and SFR on all 4 masts.

4.2 km to the south-west, neighbouring Urrugne has 15 masts, more than here.
