2023 was the busiest year, with 12 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in October 2021; Orange followed in November 2022, SFR followed in October 2023. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2006.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example Orange (4G) at 30 rue Edouard Dallas. 4 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

By mast count, Semeac is 9th of the 9 Hautes-Pyrénées towns that have five or more. With 5 masts for 5,236 residents, or 10 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (14).

Tarbes lies 2.8 km to the west and has 21 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 2.2 km to the east of the centre.

Of the 5 masts in the commune, 4 of the 5 masts host at least two operators.
