Cell towers in Lunel-Viel (Hérault)

1 water tower and 7 pylons carry the commune's antennas.

Declared locations include La Grand Gorge, Camp Miaulaire, Le Roucanier, Nabrigas, Tour de Farges and Mas de Gachon.

The highest support stands 62 m at Nabrigas (pylon). The median is 36 m, above the Hérault median of 22 m.

ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 2 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (3G, 4G and 5G) at Tour de Farges and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G) at Tour de Farges. 5 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on 2 of its 5 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 4 masts and SFR on 1 of its 4 masts. Free Mobile only has 5G on 700 MHz — longer reach, lower speed. 75% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Hérault towns with five or more masts (87%).

2021 was the busiest year, with 22 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in January 2021; Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2021, SFR followed in August 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1998.

Of the 8 masts in the commune, 2 masts carry all four networks, and Orange is the only carrier on 3 masts.

Nearby, Vendargues (10 km to the west) has 12 masts, more than here.

By mast count, Lunel-Viel is 19th of the 31 Hérault towns that have five or more. With 8 masts for 4,507 residents, or 18 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

4,507 residents over 12 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.
