Cell towers in Le Cannet (Alpes-Maritimes)

Most of the town's 32 masts are buildings (26); 2 camouflaged "tree" pylons make up the rest of the mix.

Declared locations include Aire de Repos du Belvédère du Piccolaret, Cannes-le-Pézou, Les Escarasses, 49 avenue Maurice Jeanpierre, 9960 boulevard Sadi Carnot - RD Point Grande Bretagne and Immeuble le Quadrige.

26 of the 32 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 50 m at Cannes-le-Pézou (pylon). The median is 24 m, above the Alpes-Maritimes median of 19 m.

22 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 5 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 6 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 106 avenue Franklin Roosevelt, Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 14 Avenue Maurice Jeanpierre and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 32 Chemin des Campelieres. 21 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2018 was the busiest year, with 70 new systems, most of them 4G. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1994.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by SFR on 13 of its 14 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 8 of its 13 masts, Free Mobile on all 8 masts and Orange on 8 of its 11 masts.

2.9 km to the east, neighbouring Vallauris has 29 masts declared.

By mast count, Le Cannet is 7th of the 41 Alpes-Maritimes towns that have five or more. With 32 masts for 41,938 residents, or 8 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

At 8 km² with 41,938 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA Cannes Pays de Lérins intercommunal grouping.
