Bridging communication gap through colocating infrastructure solution

PAN African Towers Limited

Pan African Towers Limited is an independent owner and operator of digital infrastructure and wireless communications sites in Nigeria. The Company commenced business operations in Nigeria in 2017 and currently has c.1,000 towers across 35 of the 36 states in Nigeria, with over 600 active tower sites. PAT’s service offerings include; traditional services such as colocation, built-to-suit, managed services, buy-lease-back and Distributed Antenna Solutions (DAS) and value-added services (broadband, utility, content and support).

The Company has a diverse customer base that includes leading mobile network operators and internet service providers like Airtel, MTN, 9Mobile, Smile, Bitflux, ICSL, Spectranet, and Swift.

Project Highlight

PAT’s management is executing several strategic initiatives to drive its aspiration to become a clear leader in creating and operating digital infrastructure assets in Nigeria. The Company has an aggressive growth plan and aims to deploy up to 500 towers annually within the next five years to help bridge the coverage gap in Nigeria and accelerate the strong appetite for next-generation mobile broadband growth and internet penetration. The proceeds of the Bonds will finance the roll-out of new environmentally friendly tower sites to enhance telecommunication coverage and service quality, especially in underserved communities and towards reducing carbon footprint in the sector by swapping out diesel generators with renewable energy sources.
