BUILT TO SUIT

What is Built-to-suit?

We undertake the building of ultramodern telecom towers end-to-end, from zoning and site acquisition to delivery to our clients. We build to suit your passive infrastructure, including the site, tower, shelter and power supply.

This product is complemented with our O&M services through which we operate and maintain the sites on behalf of our tenants. This solution offers an array of benefits across the board, from improved quality and range of services to better cash flows management.
