Descriptiontext

PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk (TBIG), the listed holding company of Tower Bersama Group, is one of Indonesia's largest independent telecommunications tower operators, managing more than 24,000 tower sites across the archipelago. Established in 2004 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on October 26, 2010, TBIG generates revenue through long-term (typically 10–15 year) colocation and tower-sharing agreements with Indonesian mobile network operators, alongside Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployments and supporting infrastructure services. Its technology stack is physical-asset-heavy — steel tower structures, RF site infrastructure, DAS hardware, and an integrated Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) management framework certified across ISO 9001, ISO 31000 (LRQA-assessed in October 2024), ISO 14064, ISO 37001, and TCFD-aligned climate reporting, with a Net Zero 2040 roadmap.

TBIG's business model is B2B infrastructure-as-a-service for telecom carriers: enterprise sales teams negotiate site-specific colocation and lease agreements priced off tower height, location, capacity, and lease tenure rather than publicly disclosed rate cards. Demand is driven by Indonesian mobile operators' 4G/LTE and 5G rollout requirements, where sharing TBIG's tower portfolio materially reduces their capex versus operator-owned build. Revenue is therefore predominantly subscription-style and contracted, supporting the FY2025 results of IDR 6,909.6 billion revenue, IDR 5,940.5 billion EBITDA (86.0% margin), and IDR 1,426.8 billion net profit. The company is headquartered in Jakarta, holds an international BBB-/Stable credit rating from Fitch Ratings, and operates within a concentrated customer universe of Indonesian telecommunications carriers.

Operationally, TBIG distributes services exclusively through direct enterprise sales to carrier network planning and procurement teams, with no reseller or marketplace channels. Strategic priorities visible in 2025–2026 include capital-markets activity (Rupiah bond issuance in December 2025 and a planned Global Notes issuance disclosed in June 2026), ongoing share buybacks, ESG positioning through its Net Zero 2040 roadmap, and ecosystem engagement via industry events such as ZTE Day Indonesia 2026. The customer base is narrowly concentrated among Indonesian telecom operators, creating high counterparty dependency despite the long contract durations that ensure revenue stability.

The event featured keynote presentations from technology partners including Sertis Indonesia, Whale Cloud Technology Indonesia, and Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, alongside panel discussions with representatives from Linknet, Fiberstar, Tower Bersama Group, DCI Indonesia, Fortress Digital Services, and DSST Mas Gemilang. ZTE showcased its latest AI, cloud, computing, and connectivity innovations aimed at supporting Indonesia's vision of becoming a leading digital economy through cross-industry collaboration.ReutersBuyout firms readying sale of $1 billion Indonesia tower operator STP - sourcesBuyout firms Carlyle and Southern Capital Group have hired an adviser to sell their combined 68.7 percent stake in Indonesian telecom tower operator Solusi Tunas Pratama, with the deal potentially valuing the company at about $1 billion. First-round bids are due by end-August, with Protelindo, Tower Bersama Infrastructure, and state-run Telkom among potential buyers in early talks. The transaction would mark the first sizeable consolidation in Indonesia's highly fragmented tower sector, as telecom operators increasingly sell tower infrastructure to reduce debt and focus on core services.
