15 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 11 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 38 Rue Recher. 26 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

43 of the 47 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 66 m at Ile de Pomègues (pylon). The median height of measured supports is 23 m.

The commune owns 4 of the 47 masts, TDF owns 2.

2013 was the busiest year, with 102 new systems, most of them 4G. Bouygues Telecom switched on the first 5G here in November 2020; Orange followed in November 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

Of the 47 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks, and SFR is the only carrier on 16 masts.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by SFR on 11 of its 22 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 10 of its 18 masts, Orange on 10 of its 14 masts and Free Mobile on 8 of its 11 masts.

1.6 km to the east, neighbouring Marseille 06 has 75 masts, more than here.

By mast count, Marseille 07 is 13th of the 92 Bouches-du-Rhône towns that have five or more.

At 6 km² with 35,173 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.
