Cell towers in Toulon (Var)

Supports leave a gap of about 2.1 km to the north-east of the centre. 6 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Most of the town's 134 masts are buildings (114); 6 underground or tunnel sites, 2 churches or religious buildings and 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon make up the rest of the mix.

Declared locations include avenue du Commandant Marchand, 80 rue Albert Camus, 118 Rue du Muguet, 570 Chem de la Calade, Place Junot and Chem Fort Cap Brun.

53 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. ANFR has approved 6 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 31 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 503 Rue Andre Blondel, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 1190 avenue de la Résistance and Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 9001 place du 4 Septembre. 76 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The commune owns 6 of the 134 masts, TDF owns 3.

2013 was the busiest year, with 436 new systems, most of them 4G. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, Orange followed in January 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1995.

114 of the 134 masts are rooftop-mounted. The tallest support is 65 m at La Rode (building). The median is 23 m, above the Var median of 19 m.

Of the 134 masts in the commune, 2 masts carry all four networks, and SFR is the only carrier on 42 masts.

By mast count, Toulon is 1st of the 58 Var towns that have five or more. With 134 masts for 179,116 residents, or 7 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (12).

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by SFR on 41 of its 62 masts, Free Mobile on 37 of its 41 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 36 of its 47 masts and Orange on 28 of its 34 masts.

4.7 km to the east, neighbouring La Valette-du-Var has only 23 masts.

At 44 km² with 179,116 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the Métropole Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée intercommunal grouping.
