Helios Towers owns and operates telecommunications towers and passive infrastructure in five high-growth African markets. The company focuses on building, acquiring, and managing telecommunications towers that can accommodate and power the needs of multiple tenants, primarily serving the Big Five African Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and challengers. Operating over 7,000 towers, Helios Towers plays a crucial role in markets with limited fixed-line voice or data infrastructure, making its services essential for community development. The business model revolves around leasing tower space to multiple tenants, generating revenue through long-term contracts. This approach ensures sustainable returns on investment and value generation. Helios Towers also emphasizes job creation, skills development, and improved standards through its partnership approach. The company is committed to transparency, including voluntarily reporting gender pay gap data despite having fewer than 250 employees.
