Cell towers in Palavas-les-Flots (Hérault)

1 lighthouse or signal station and 4 buildings, 2 pylons and 1 road gantry carry the commune's antennas.

Declared locations include 17 rue Aristide Briand, La Capitainerie, 24 Boulevard des Guilhems, 32 Rue Sire de Joinville, 12 avenue du Marechal Foch and Promenade de Maguelone.

25 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Premieres Cabanes. 10 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 65 m at 17 rue Aristide Briand (lighthouse or signal station). The median is 15 m, slightly below the Hérault median of 22 m.

2022 was the busiest year, with 23 new systems, most of them 4G. Orange opened 5G here in June 2021; SFR followed in January 2022, Bouygues Telecom followed in July 2022. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1997.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 5 of its 7 masts, SFR on 5 of its 6 masts, Orange on 3 of its 4 masts and Free Mobile on its only mast. 75% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Hérault towns with five or more masts (87%).

Perols lies 4.2 km to the north and has 15 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.5 km to the east of the centre.

Of the 8 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks.
