Cell towers in Carmaux (Tarn)

Most of the town's 5 masts are pylons (3); 1 church or religious building and 1 water tower make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at 124 Avenue de Rodez, Puech Reynal, La Cremade, Place de la Libération and boulevard Denfert Rochereau.

The declared supports are a 30 m pylon, at 124 Avenue de Rodez, for Bouygues Telecom and SFR; a 21 m water tower, at Puech Reynal, for Free Mobile and Orange; a 37 m pylon, at La Cremade, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR; a 50 m church or religious building, at Place de la Libération, for Free Mobile; a 21 m pylon, at boulevard Denfert Rochereau, for Orange.

Systems from 2005 are still on the register. Free Mobile opened 5G here in October 2021; SFR followed in November 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in January 2022. 2017 was the busiest year, with 9 new systems, most of them 4G.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 13 new systems here. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Puech Reynal. 3 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 50 m at Place de la Libération (church or religious building). The median height of measured supports is 30 m.

2 masts belong to TDF and 1 to Totem.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on all 2 masts, Orange on 2 of its 3 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 2 masts and SFR on 1 of its 2 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 87% across Tarn towns with five or more masts.

Albi lies 13 km to the south and has 35 masts, more than here.

Colocation covers 3 supports.

Among the 16 Tarn towns with at least five masts, Carmaux ranks 12th by mast count. With 5 masts for 9,872 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (8).

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