Cell towers in Marseille 08 (Bouches-du-Rhône)

3 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Declared supports include 3 underground or tunnel sites and 1 lighthouse or signal station, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Antennas are listed at Stade Velodrome, boulevard Michelet, Parc Chanot, 9 boulevard Louvain, 98b boulevard Georges Estrangin Reservoir Pablo Picasso and Av. du Corail.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 45 new systems here. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 28 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Résidence le Goya. 52 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

11 masts belong to the commune itself and 1 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; Orange followed in November 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 185 new systems, most of them 4G.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (80 of 86), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 75 m at Stade Velodrome.

5 masts carry all four networks.

Among the 92 Bouches-du-Rhône towns with at least five masts, Marseille 08 ranks 3rd by mast count. With 86 masts for 84,683 residents, or 10 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: SFR on 26 of its 41 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 24 of its 33 masts, Orange on 23 of its 31 masts and Free Mobile on 22 of its 30 masts.

Marseille 06 lies 1.9 km to the north and has less 5G (39%).

At 21 km² with 84,683 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons.

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