Overview

In doing so, we facilitate mobile communications coverage for millions of people across our eight-market footprint, supporting economies to implement nationwide digital agendas. We operate over 39,000 towers across Africa and Latin America. We are the largest independent tower operator in six of the markets in which we operate, and the only independent multinational operator of scale in four of these markets.

As one of the pioneers of the tower infrastructure industry in Africa, we have worked with our customers for more than two decades to develop the experience, insight and operational talent needed to operate and grow a successful business in our sector. Today, we are implementing those learnings in multiple markets. 

Our successful performance is the result of many years of building, acquiring, operating, managing, and owning communications infrastructure in emerging market environments. We are confident that we have a well-defined growth strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing customer base and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in communications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth-oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals.

Our markets provide strong fundamentals for future growth and we hold the leading position in many of the markets in which we operate. We believe this puts us in the ideal position to capitalize on future growth opportunities across our footprint and throughout the emerging markets.

In October 2021, we conducted an initial public offering in the United States, listing our shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:IHS).
