24 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 3 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 2 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (3G and 4G) at La Fond du Loup, Free Mobile (3G and 4G) at La Fond du Loup and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Saint Pierre. 4 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2017 was the busiest year, with 15 new systems, most of them 4G. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in December 2020; Bouygues Telecom followed in December 2021, SFR followed in December 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2009.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Orange on all 2 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 3 masts, Free Mobile on its only mast and SFR on 1 of its 3 masts. 100% of the town's masts carry 5G, more than across Var towns with five or more masts (83%).

The highest support stands 37 m at Les Basses Bréguières (camouflaged "tree" pylon). The median is 22 m, above the Var median of 19 m.

Nearby, Vidauban (5.5 km to the south-west) has 9 masts, more than here.

Supports leave a gap of about 1.5 km to the south of the centre.

Of the 6 masts in the commune, 3 of the 6 masts host at least two operators.

By mast count, Les Arcs is 46th of the 58 Var towns that have five or more. With 6 masts for 8,109 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).
