Revenue model

1. Tower Leasing: Core revenue stream from leasing tower infrastructure to mobile network operators (MNOs) including tower space, power, and fibre connectivity. Multi-year contracts with tenancy-based pricing models.
2. Colocation Services: Revenue from enabling multiple MNOs to share tower infrastructure through the co-location model, achieving a 1.68x co-location ratio. Allows operators to deploy equipment on existing towers rather than building new infrastructure.
3. Build-to-Suit: Custom tower construction services for MNO partners requiring specific site locations, heights, and structural specifications to meet coverage requirements.
4. Energy Management Solutions: Comprehensive energy solutions including Energy Ala Carte (component-level deployment), MSOM (Managed Services Operations and Maintenance), Energy as a Service, and Green Energy options. Covers power infrastructure management, solar installations (2,617 solar-powered sites), and hybrid energy systems.
5. Transmission and Fibre Services: Fibre connectivity services including Fiber to the Tower (FTTT) enabling 5G readiness and multi-tenant fronthaul and backhaul capabilities.
6. Operations and Maintenance (O&M): End-to-end passive managed services including drone-based routine maintenance inspections, site audits, and proactive tower maintenance using predictive analytics.
7. In-Building Solutions (IBS): Customised in-building network enhancement solutions covering system design, deployment, and maintenance for enhanced indoor cellular coverage.
8. Small Cell Solutions:
