Cell towers in Ibos (Hautes-Pyrénées)

Place names on the register include Rue de la Garounére, Les Marnieres, La Hite, Lespie and Serrecaute.

Inventory: a 36 m pylon, at Rue de la Garounére, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR; a 43 m pylon, at Les Marnieres, for Free Mobile; a 22 m pylon, at La Hite, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange and SFR; a 39 m pylon, at Lespie, for Free Mobile; a 35 m pylon, at Serrecaute, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR.

ANFR lists a 43 m pylon at Les Marnieres as the tallest structure. The median is 36 m, above the Hautes-Pyrénées median of 30 m.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 2 of its 3 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 3 masts and SFR on 1 of its 3 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed. 100% of the town's masts carry 5G, more than across Hautes-Pyrénées towns with five or more masts (84%).

2023 was the busiest year, with 13 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in February 2021; SFR followed in March 2023, Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2023. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2001.

10 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 2 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at Serrecaute, SFR (4G and 5G) at Serrecaute and Orange (4G 700 MHz) at La Hite. 3 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

By mast count, Ibos is 8th of the 9 Hautes-Pyrénées towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 2,813 residents, or 18 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (14).

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

5.7 km to the east, neighbouring Tarbes has 21 masts, more than here.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks.
