Cell towers in Le Rove (Bouches-du-Rhône)

Most of the town's 13 masts are pylons (6); 1 church or religious building make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at Niolon, L'Establon, Les Grands Clos, 14 ZA les Piélettes, Vallon du Gipier and Le Douard.

ANFR lists a 27 m pylon at La Cloche as the tallest structure. The median is 12 m, slightly below the Bouches-du-Rhône median of 22 m.

3 masts belong to the commune itself and 4 to TDF; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1997 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in July 2021. 2019 was the busiest year, with 14 new systems, most of them 4G.

8 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 92 Bouches-du-Rhône towns with at least five masts, Le Rove ranks 44th by mast count. With 13 masts for 5,246 residents, or 25 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on 3 of its 8 masts, SFR on 2 of its 3 masts, Bouygues Telecom on its only mast and Free Mobile on 1 of its 2 masts.

2 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 2.6 km, to the south-east of the centre.

2.8 km to the north-west, neighbouring Gignac-la-Nerthe has a higher 5G share (93%).

5,246 residents over 23 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops. It is part of the Métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence intercommunal grouping.
