Cell towers in Velaux (Bouches-du-Rhône)

Most of the town's 9 masts are pylons (6); 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at La Verdiere, Bel Air, impasse Pauline Plan, Colline de Velaux, La Degaye and rue de la Tour.

ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Avenue Général Leclrec. 12 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The tallest structure is a 40 m pylon at Bel Air. The median height of measured supports is 23 m.

Systems from 1997 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, Orange followed in September 2021. 2021 was the busiest year, with 19 new systems, most of them 4G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on all 6 masts, Free Mobile on 3 of its 4 masts, Orange on all 3 masts and SFR on all 3 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 76% across Bouches-du-Rhône towns with five or more masts.

Only one mast carries all four networks; 3 supports carry only Bouygues Telecom.

The widest declared gap between neighbouring supports is about 2.6 km, to the south-east of the centre.

3.3 km to the east, neighbouring Ventabren has less 5G (75%).

8,941 residents over 25 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.

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