ProjexCI

What ProjexCI does

ProjexCI (legal entity ProJEX CI LTD, registered in the British Virgin Islands) is a turnkey cellular network infrastructure company founded in 2006. It designs, manufactures, and deploys physical infrastructure — including Rapid Deployment Towers (12m–30m, in-house designed and UK-built), permanent lattice towers (30m–90m), trailer- and vehicle-based mobile temporary sites, multi-operator Distributed Antenna System (DAS) equipment rooms, hybrid power solutions, and the RT-NTAS AUTO automated wireless network monitoring tool — alongside professional services spanning site acquisition, RF and microwave transmission planning, civil works, multi-vendor active equipment commissioning, and network optimization. The company positions itself as a multi-vendor system integrator qualified across Huawei, Nokia, Ericsson, and ZTE equipment stacks.

The company serves three primary customer segments: mobile network operators (MTN, O2 Telefonica, EE, Airtel/Zain) requiring macro network buildout, temporary event coverage, and in-building DAS; network equipment vendors (Huawei, Nokia, Ericsson, ZTE) requiring local installation partners; and a growing set of enterprise and event customers (Port of Tyne, Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge, Goodwood Festival of Speed) requiring private 5G, stadium coverage, and high-density event connectivity for crowds up to 200,000+.

Commercially, ProjexCI earns revenue through project-based hardware sales (towers, RF materials, shelters, generators, DC air-conditioners, fencing) and professional services (turnkey site establishment, field services, consulting). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public rate card. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to telecom operator procurement and equipment vendor program managers. Operations span 19+ countries across Sub-Saharan Africa (Ghana, DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Swaziland, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Guinea, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Congo B), the UK (Cheltenham registered office, Bristol European hub), Greece (Athens headquarters), Pakistan, and the Caribbean. The company reports 200+ permanent staff, a 28,000 sq ft UK warehouse, and $180m+ in cumulative successfully delivered contract value since founding.

Direct peers

• ZTE: Listed as a core partner with parallel network services and infrastructure offerings. Competes with ProjexCI on end-to-end delivery for telecom operators across emerging markets.
• Huawei: Core partner for whom ProjexCI delivers installation projects (e.g., Birmingham). Huawei's own services organisation competes directly in turnkey network deployment across the same African and UK geographies.
• JMA Wireless: Specialist in DAS and private network equipment for in-building and venue connectivity, directly comparable to ProjexCI's Multi-Operator DAS MER and stadium/event coverage solutions.
• Ericsson: Swedish telecom OEM that is both a strategic partner (Port of Tyne private 5G) and direct competitor through its network deployment services organisation. Comparable because Ericsson delivers the same turnkey cellular infrastructure and private 5G solutions ProjexCI integrates.
• Nokia Networks: Listed as a core customer and partner, Nokia also offers network professional services and equipment that overlaps with ProjexCI's turnkey deployment business across radio and in-building coverage.
• CommScope: Global manufacturer of DAS, small cell and in-building wireless equipment that competes with ProjexCI's Multi-Operator DAS MER offering for neutral host and enterprise coverage deployments.
• Boingo Wireless: Neutral-host in-building connectivity and DAS operator serving stadiums, transit and venues — directly comparable to ProjexCI's event and stadium DAS deployments at venues like Stamford Bridge and Goodwood.

Broad incumbents

• Crown Castle: Large US tower and fiber/small cell infrastructure owner-operator offering overlapping connectivity infrastructure to operators and enterprises, with adjacent small cell and fiber capabilities relevant to ProjexCI's macro and small cell deployment work.
• American Tower (ATC Africa): Global tower and connectivity infrastructure owner-operator with African operations. Comparable to ProjexCI's permanent site and macro network business as a buyer and enabler of MNO tower requirements across Africa.

Regional players

• Helios Towers: Africa-focused tower operator with comparable geographic footprint in many of the same markets where ProjexCI delivers network builds. Comparable because both serve MNOs across Sub-Saharan Africa with shared infrastructure.
