Cell towers in Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes)

Declared supports include 2 camouflaged "tree" pylons and 1 church or religious building, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Antennas are listed at boulevard Baudoin, Pex Escota. Peage de Sophia Antipolis, 1157 Chem des Ames du Purgatoire, 279 Chem des Ames du Purgatoire, Port Gallice and Lauvet.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 62 new systems here. ANFR has approved 10 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 16 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz), Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 642 boulevard Guillaume Apollinaire and Free Mobile (4G and 5G) at 12 promenade Amiral de Grasse. 48 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2 masts belong to the commune itself and 7 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1994 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. 2018 was the busiest year, with 152 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (68 of 88), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 41 m at 513 Chem du Puy.

Among the 41 Alpes-Maritimes towns with at least five masts, Antibes ranks 3rd by mast count. With 88 masts for 77,637 residents, or 11 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on 28 of its 32 masts, Free Mobile on 26 of its 27 masts, SFR on 26 of its 34 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 21 of its 29 masts.

5.7 km to the west, neighbouring Vallauris has only 29 masts.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

At 27 km² with 77,637 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA de Sophia Antipolis intercommunal grouping.

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