Cell towers in Burlats (Tarn)

Place names on the register include Domaine du Carla, Le Lac Bas du Haut, La Glévade, La Fedial, Missecle and Sud de Burlats.

ANFR lists a 45 m pylon at La Fedial as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 30 m.

Only Orange broadcasts 5G at 3.5 GHz here, on 1 of its 5 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed. 100% of the town's masts carry 5G, more than across Tarn towns with five or more masts (87%).

2018 was the busiest year, with 15 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; 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 Orange (4G and 5G) at Le Lac Bas du Haut. 4 Free Mobile 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Of the 7 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

By mast count, Burlats is 7th of the 16 Tarn towns that have five or more.

Totem is the largest declared owner (3 masts), ahead of TDF (2).

Supports leave a gap of about 3.2 km to the north-west of the centre. Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

9.3 km to the north, neighbouring Montredon-Labessonnie has less 5G (29%).
