Helios Towers Ltd. announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby it will create a South African infrastructure platform with South Africa's Vulatel (Pty) Ltd. (‘Vulatel’). The infrastructure platform, Helios Towers South Africa (‘HTSA’), will build out wireless and fixed line open-access infrastructure in South Africa. As a leading independent tower company, with over 6,500 towers in four key markets (Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo (‘DRC’), and Congo Brazzaville), Helios Towers has long considered South Africa an attractive opportunity due to its economic growth, population demographics and demand for advanced telecommunications services. Helios Towers also expects the South African market to lead the way on 5G rollout in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a consumer and industrial business case for better coverage and enhanced connectivity delivered through the country's current mobile network operators. HTSA expects to be able to support this by building greenfield mobile tower infrastructure and the associated high-speed microwave and fibre-optic infrastructure that will enable MNOs to meet their customers' needs.
