Cell towers in Thure (Vienne)

Place names on the register include Clos de la Pelletrie, Le Parc du Chateau, Les Champs, Les Communeaux and L'Ourdière.

Inventory: a 32 m pylon, at Clos de la Pelletrie, for Bouygues Telecom and SFR; a 22 m pylon, at Le Parc du Chateau, for Orange; a 32 m pylon, at Les Champs, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR; a 29 m pylon, at Les Communeaux, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR; a 25 m pylon, at L'Ourdière, for Orange.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 3 masts, Orange on 1 of its 2 masts and SFR on 1 of its 3 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed.

2022 was the busiest year, with 17 new systems, most of them 4G. SFR switched on the first 5G here in January 2022; Bouygues Telecom followed in March 2022, Orange followed in January 2025. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2001.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Free Mobile (4G and 5G) at Les Champs. 4 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

ANFR lists a 32 m pylon at Clos de la Pelletrie as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 29 m.

By mast count, Thure is 12th of the 12 Vienne towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 2,765 residents, or 18 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (19).

Supports leave a gap of about 2.5 km to the north-west of the centre. Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

25 km to the south-west, neighbouring Migne has a water tower among its supports.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, 3 of the 5 masts host at least two operators.
