About Helios Towers
-- Helios Towers is a leading independent telecommunications
infrastructure company, having established one of the most
extensive tower portfolios across Africa. It builds, owns and
operates telecom passive infrastructure, providing services to
mobile network operators.
-- Helios Towers owns and operates telecommunication tower sites
in Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo Brazzaville,
Ghana, South Africa and Senegal. Following recent acquisition
agreements and subject to regulatory approvals, Helios Towers
expects to establish a presence in five new markets across Africa
and the Middle-East over the next 12 months. Including these
acquisitions and committed BTS, the Group's total site count is
expected to increase from over 7,300 towers as reported in Q1 2021
to approaching 15,000.
-- Helios Towers pioneered the model in Africa of buying towers
that were held by single operators and providing services utilising
the tower infrastructure to the seller and other operators. This
allows wireless operators to outsource non-core tower-related
activities, enabling them to focus their capital and managerial
resources on providing higher quality services more
cost-effectively.
