Cell towers in Mirepoix (Ariège)

Antennas are listed at Ramounde, Chevalier, 15b Chemin de la Mestrisse, Bonnelle and Sibra.

The declared supports are a 28 m pylon, at Ramounde, for Bouygues Telecom and SFR; a 32 m pylon, at Chevalier, for Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR; a 16 m pylon, at 15b Chemin de la Mestrisse, for Orange; a 46 m pylon, at Bonnelle, for Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange and SFR; a 20 m pylon, at Sibra, for Free Mobile.

The highest support stands 46 m at Bonnelle (pylon). The median is 28 m, slightly below the Ariège median of 32 m.

Every mast here is owned by a tower company rather than by a carrier. Mix: On Tower France (2), Totem (2) and Cellnex (1).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 1 of its 2 masts and Orange on 1 of its 3 masts.

Systems from 2009 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2021; SFR followed in January 2022, Bouygues Telecom followed in February 2022. 2016 was the busiest year, with 19 new systems, most of them 4G.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Free Mobile (4G 800 MHz) at Bonnelle. 1 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitter is listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Among the 5 Ariège towns with at least five masts, Mirepoix ranks 5th by mast count. With 5 masts for 3,172 residents, or 16 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (8).

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 5.4 km, to the north-west of the centre.

Nearby, Lavelanet (17 km to the south) has a higher 5G share (100%).

Only one mast carries all four networks.

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