Most of the town's 91 masts are buildings (66); 3 churches or religious buildings and 3 water towers make up the rest of the mix.

81 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 12 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 30 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 4 Rue Larrey, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 4 rue Charles Syndic and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Esp de la Gare. 60 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

66 of the 91 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 60 m at 2 rue Chaptal (building). The median is 27 m, slightly below the Maine-et-Loire median of 34 m.

The commune owns 6 of the 91 masts, Cellnex owns 4.

Of the 91 masts in the commune, 4 masts carry all four networks.

By mast count, Angers is 1st of the 25 Maine-et-Loire towns that have five or more. With 91 masts for 159,022 residents, or 6 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (14).

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Free Mobile on 32 of its 35 masts, Orange on 31 of its 37 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 26 of its 38 masts and SFR on 23 of its 34 masts.

Nearby, Avrille (4.8 km to the north-west) has only 7 masts.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.6 km to the west of the centre.

At 44 km² with 159,022 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CU Angers Loire Métropole intercommunal grouping.
