About IHS

IHS Kuwait became operational in February 2020 after we completed the sale and lease back of up to 1,620 towers in Kuwait from Mobile Telecommunications Company K.S.C.P (Zain), Kuwait’s leading mobile communications operator.
This transaction, which created the first independent tower operator of scale in the GCC region, also represented the first sale and leaseback of telecom towers in the Middle East by a licensed mobile network operator.
Zain mobile communication towers are located in prime and strategic locations across Kuwait. The transaction has enabled Zain to focus on its core business and customers while accelerating its investments in cutting edge telecom technologies to help meet growing mobile data demand.
