Declared supports include 2 water towers and 1 lighthouse or signal station, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 27 new systems here. ANFR has approved 6 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 6 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at Carro, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 58 Rue Alessandro Volta and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Pouane. 34 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

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

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Bouygues Telecom in November 2020; SFR followed in December 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. 2020 was the busiest year, with 75 new systems, most of them 5G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 16 of its 18 masts, Free Mobile on 13 of its 15 masts, SFR on 12 of its 15 masts and Orange on 11 of its 15 masts. 5G is on 92% of masts here, against 76% across Bouches-du-Rhône towns with five or more masts.

ANFR lists a 65 m building at 8 Avenue de Canto Perdrix as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 24 m.

Port-de-Bouc lies 6 km to the west and has only 17 masts.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 1.8 km, to the south-east of the centre.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

Among the 92 Bouches-du-Rhône towns with at least five masts, Martigues ranks 22nd by mast count. With 37 masts for 48,298 residents, or 8 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

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