Camusat Group

What Camusat Group does

Camusat Group (legal entity: Camusat International) is a France-headquartered private telecom infrastructure services company operating across 28+ countries in Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Pacific. The company serves Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and telecom tower/infrastructure companies with end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle services spanning site acquisition, tower and rooftop construction, fiber optic network deployment, radio access network (RAN) equipment installation, energy systems integration, and 24/7 managed operations and maintenance. Camusat employs between 5,001 and 10,000 people across 38 nationalities, including a 2,000+ person operations and maintenance team that delivers service-level guarantees exceeding 99% network availability.

The company operates through two principal divisions. Camusat OpCo delivers operational telecom services — construction and installation, fiber and FTTx network rollouts, energy systems deployment, and managed services for active and passive infrastructure, supported by a proprietary Remote Monitoring System (RMS) platform that provides continuous surveillance across all network elements. Aktivco, the InfraCo division, provides energy asset management under three business models: ESCO (Energy Service Company) — a managed services model that finances, owns, and operates solar-plus-storage-plus-generator-plus-grid energy infrastructure across 6,600+ telecom sites with guaranteed uptime; TWESCO (Tower and Energy as a Service) for greenfield tower deployment in rural areas; and SaaS (Solar as a Service), a subscription-style model that retrofits solar onto existing customer-owned sites. Camusat holds six ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, 20000-1, 27001, 23001), is a UN Global Compact signatory since 2015, and reports having avoided 224,493 tons of CO2 emissions since 2015 through its power solutions. Revenue derives from professional services contracts, managed services fees, and recurring subscription models, with custom multi-year enterprise pricing and direct field-sales distribution. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership or revenue figures, and in October 2024 raised approximately $88 million from Eurazeo and Vantage Capital.

Direct peers

• Helios Towers: Operator of telecom tower infrastructure across Africa and the Middle East with an ESCO-like managed-services model serving MNOs. Highly comparable to Camusat's Aktivco division given similar geography, customer base (MNOs), and business model of owning/managing tower and energy assets.
• IHS Towers: One of the largest independent tower companies globally with major African and Latin American operations, providing shared telecom infrastructure including power management. Directly comparable to Camusat in serving MNOs with tower and energy-as-a-service offerings across similar emerging markets.
• Eaton Towers: African-focused tower operator owning and managing telecom tower and energy assets across multiple African countries. Highly comparable to Camusat's Aktivco ESCO/TWESCO model given similar customer base, geography, and managed-tower-plus-energy offering.

Broad incumbents

• American Tower Corporation: Global REIT and one of the largest tower operators worldwide with significant African and Latin American exposure through ATC Africa. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the telecom infrastructure space but with much larger scale, public market access, and broader geographic portfolio.
• Crown Castle: US-listed tower and fiber infrastructure REIT providing shared telecom infrastructure, including small cells and fiber. Comparable in serving telecom operators with integrated tower/energy/fiber solutions but operates primarily in the US and is far larger and more capital-markets-driven than Camusat.
• SBA Communications: Global tower operator serving MNOs with site leasing and infrastructure services. Comparable as an incumbent in tower infrastructure but with primary focus on Americas and a different scale/capital structure than Camusat's emerging-market ESCO focus.
• Ericsson (Network Services): Global telecom equipment vendor that also provides managed network services, including RAN installation, integration, and optimization for MNOs. Comparable as a broader player in telecom infrastructure services but with a fundamentally different business model centered on equipment and software rather than tower/energy assets.
• Nokia (Network Infrastructure Services): Global telecom infrastructure vendor with a network services division covering deployment, integration, and managed services for MNOs. Comparable in providing telecom operators with infrastructure services but as a broad incumbent across the full telecom stack rather than specializing in tower/energy.

Emerging players

• Africa Mobile Networks: Emerging player focused on deploying mobile network infrastructure in rural and underserved African communities, with overlapping geography and customer base to Camusat. Comparable as a focused emerging-market telecom infrastructure player but smaller scale and narrower geographic scope.

Others

• VI (Vodafone Intelligent Solutions) / Vodafone Towers: Vodafone's tower and infrastructure operations across Africa and Europe overlap with Camusat's customer base (MNOs) and infrastructure services focus. Comparable as an MNO-affiliated infrastructure operator but vertically integrated with its own MNO business rather than operating as an independent infrastructure partner.
