Helios Towers

Helios Towers is an independent telecommunications infrastructure company that builds, acquires, owns and operates mobile tower sites across Africa and the Middle East. It provides tower, energy and operational services to mobile network operators, with a portfolio of nearly 15,000 sites spanning nine countries. The company's business model rests on infrastructure sharing: multiple operators are hosted on individual towers, allowing colocation and more efficient network rollout and operation.

Its services are organised around three lines. Tower infrastructure services cover the build-out, acquisition, ownership and operation of the tower estate. Energy and power services support mobile network operations alongside the towers. Operational services deliver mission-critical site operations through local teams and partners, with an emphasis on operational standards, learning and continuous improvement.

Operations across nine African and Middle Eastern markets are run with local teams and local partners. The company cites the environmental benefits of infrastructure sharing as a feature of the model, alongside a stated purpose of connecting people and businesses and expanding mobile connectivity.
