IHS Towers

IHS Towers is one of the world’s largest independent owners, operators, and developers of shared telecommunications infrastructure, focusing exclusively on emerging markets. It provides essential passive infrastructure, including towers and related facilities, to mobile network operators. Its operations involve significant investments in hybrid energy solutions, such as solar power, and the implementation of advanced network operating centres for remote site monitoring.

The company maintains a significant footprint across Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, with over 28,000 towers located in markets such as Nigeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, South Africa, and Zambia. While primarily focused on physical infrastructure, its business model supports the operational treasury and payment requirements of mobile carriers by enabling efficient network rollouts and cost-effective colocation services.
