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

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.
