Each of the sites (*supports that can receive 1 or more antennas, from different operators*) that have been the subject of an authorisation to issue **ARCEP ** is identified and categorised by department. The limit of this antenna base is that by support, we do not know accurately the number of active antennas or not (as a rule they are, but it is not systematic). A ** observatory ** of mobile antennas presents in textual and graphical format some indicators: active/inactive sites, number of 2G/3G/4G antennas per operator, frequencies, operators, etc...
