Cell towers in Ventabren (Bouches-du-Rhône)

Declared supports include 2 camouflaged "tree" pylons, with pylons making up most of the remainder.

Declared locations include Chem du Cimetière, Quartier St Hilaire, Chateau Noir, Les Grandes Terres, Château Blanc and Chateau Blanc.

ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on one existing mast. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Les Batailles and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Les Batailles. 8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

2022 was the busiest year, with 29 new systems, most of them 5G. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; SFR followed in November 2022, Bouygues Telecom followed in November 2022. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 1998.

The highest support stands 25 m at Chem du Cimetière (camouflaged "tree" pylon). The median is 19 m, slightly below the Bouches-du-Rhône median of 22 m.

Supports leave a gap of about 3.1 km to the north-west of the centre. Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 4 of its 5 masts, SFR on 4 of its 5 masts, Orange on 2 of its 3 masts and Free Mobile on 1 of its 3 masts.

Nearby, Velaux (3.3 km to the west) has a higher 5G share (100%).

Of the 8 masts in the commune, 5 of the 8 masts host at least two operators.

5,839 residents over 26 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops.
