Free Mobile: when the hoof does not come from the pony, but from 5G

While it will have to coexist with a Free Mobile relay antenna transmitting in addition in 5G, it is not the one on the front line that makes the most noise. He continues his life as if nothing had happened.

Seeing a Free lease expire and having to deal with the white zones file, the town hall of Frelinghien, a northern municipality, discussed with the operator about its relocation and a new relay antenna. The telco was thus supposed to leave the Rue du Pont, near the church, where it has lived with Orange, Bouygues and SFR since 2002. It had been envisaged to install it on a new relay antenna in Rue d’Armentières, on a communal land near an equestrian center, with an annual rent of 6,000 euros.

The pony made fewer waves than 5G

No data had ticked when the information was discovered last June, except for the presence of a pony often grazing there. Regarding the animal, the municipality had simply indicated that it “Can stay there”.

A long quiet river for the relay antenna of Free, at least until last November. The discovery of the information file, visible on the site of the city, was indeed ticking. In addition to the operator’s 3G and 4G, the document clearly mentions 5G. “As part of the project described in this file, Free Mobile is planning the installation of a relay antenna transmitting on the 700/900/1800/2100/2600 / 3500MHz frequency bands to provide coverage of your town in 3G, 4G and 5G ”, can we indeed read there.

“It’s the only thing that has changed since the initial talks between the city and Free”, admits Mayor Marie-Christine Fin. Wanting to be reassuring about exposure to waves, she says: “We will have the electromagnetic waves measured before the antenna is put into service and after”. The chosen one specifies that the pylon will measure “20 to 30 meters high” and announcement “A possible commissioning” in March 2021. “The file referring to 5G has been sent to the population precisely so that everyone can make observations”, finally indicates the town hall, implying that everyone’s voice will be heard.
