Mexico Telecom Partners

What Mexico Telecom Partners does

Mexico Telecom Partners (MTP) is the largest privately owned telecommunications infrastructure operator in Mexico, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Mexico City. The company operates a national network of more than 3,750 sites spanning macro towers, rooftops, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), Small Cells, Edge Data Centers, and C-RAN (Cloud-RAN) Hotel infrastructure. MTP's customer base is anchored by Mexico's major wireless operators, with AT&T and Altan's Red Compartida as named enterprise clients, alongside retail and financial sector tenants of its data center facilities.

MTP generates revenue through four primary streams: recurring tower colocation leases on multi-tenant sites with long-term contracts, build-to-suit development services for operator-specific deployments, tower and portfolio acquisitions from developers and tower owners, and managed colocation/interconnection services at its Edge and Data Center facilities. The company was the first in Mexico to deploy a C-RAN Hotel network (55 sites, 11 MW, 19 cities for Altan in 2019) and the first in Latin America to install an outdoor DAS system (San Miguel de Allende, 2019). Its flagship Santa Fe Data Center, inaugurated in June 2023 with a MXN 300 million investment, achieved Uptime Institute Tier III certification in design in January 2024.

The business is privately held by Digital Bridge (approximately USD 35 billion in digital assets under management) and Macquarie Asset Management (approximately USD 546 billion in assets under management), both infrastructure-focused investors whose senior alumni (CFO Gonzalo Cornejo and VP of M&A Carlos Buitelaar) sit in MTP's leadership. MTP financed growth through the first Asset Backed Securities (ABS) bond issuance in the Latin American tower industry (MXN 2,125 million in 2017, AAA/A3-rated) and a MXN 4,000 million ESG-linked syndicated credit facility in 2022. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company does not report revenue figures.

Direct peers

• Telesites: Mexican telecom tower operator spun out of América Móvil, operating ~15,000+ sites in Mexico. Directly comparable as the largest competitor to MTP in Mexican tower colocation, sharing the same MNO customer base (Telcel, AT&T Mexico) and same multi-tenant colocation business model.
• Phoenix Tower International: PE-backed tower operator with a footprint concentrated in Latin America and the Caribbean. Directly comparable to MTP as a fellow privately controlled, sponsor-backed regional towerco competing for the same MNO customers across overlapping Latin American geographies.
• Torresec: Mexican tower operator (partnership of AT&T and other investors) focused on the Mexican market with a multi-tenant colocation model. Direct competitor to MTP for tenancy agreements with Mexico's major MNOs.

Broad incumbents

• American Tower Corporation: Global tower REIT with material operations in Mexico (formerly ATC Mexico). Operates the same multi-tenant tower colocation model at vastly greater scale across multiple geographies; competes with MTP on both organic leasing and portfolio M&A in Mexico.
• SBA Communications: US-listed tower REIT operating multi-tenant tower infrastructure across the Americas. Same site-leasing business model and same MNO customer base as MTP; SBA's Brazilian/LatAm footprint provides a direct emerging-market infrastructure peer benchmark.
• Crown Castle Inc. US-listed tower and fiber infrastructure REIT with significant small cells and fiber business alongside towers. Comparable because MTP's strategy explicitly bundles towers, DAS, small cells and edge — directly mirroring Crown Castle's converged infrastructure thesis.
• Cellnex Telecom: European tower specialist that expanded into multiple European markets via M&A. Closest global analogue to MTP's PE-backed roll-up strategy targeting a single regional tower market with build-to-suit and acquisition as twin growth engines.

Regional players

• Vertical Bridge: US-focused private tower REIT and infrastructure operator (DigitalBridge-owned). Same sponsor (DigitalBridge) and same tower-only leasing model as MTP, serving as the closest US analog for how a sponsor-owned towerco operates post-MTP.

Emerging players

• Uniti Group: US-listed infrastructure operator specializing in fiber and wireless infrastructure including small cells. Comparable because MTP's DAS, small cells, and edge colocation strategy runs parallel to Uniti's converged infrastructure thesis for hyperscale and enterprise customers.
