About Helios Towers

·    Helios Towers is a leading independent telecommunications
infrastructure company, having established one of the most extensive tower
portfolios across Africa and the Middle East. It builds, owns and operates
telecom passive infrastructure, providing services to mobile network
operators.

 

·    Helios Towers owns and operates over 14,000 telecommunication tower
sites in nine countries across Africa and the Middle East.

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.
