Most of the town's 11 masts are buildings (5); 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon make up the rest of the mix.

ANFR has approved 2 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 2 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Les Plaines and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 600 Route de la Roquette. 7 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2021 was the busiest year, with 19 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Bouygues Telecom followed in December 2020, SFR followed in July 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1998.

ANFR lists a 33 m pylon at Chem des Canebiers as the tallest structure. The median height of measured supports is 19 m.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by SFR on all 4 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 3 of its 5 masts, Free Mobile on all 3 masts and Orange on all 3 masts.

Nearby, Valbonne (2.6 km to the north-east) has 24 masts, more than here.

Of the 11 masts in the commune, Bouygues Telecom is the only carrier on 3 masts.

Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.
