Who is our customer?
HTT Infraco Ltd (HTT) is a subsidiary of Helios Towers Africa Ltd (HTA). HTA is one of three independent African telecom tower operators that provide passive infrastructure services to the continent’s mobile network operators. Established 2009, HTA operates more than 5,200 telecommunication towers and associated infrastructure in Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania.
What is our funding objective?
Construction of around 680 build-to-suit towers over the next 18 months and growth of 900 co-location tenancies to support the development of the telecoms industry.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO is funding this project to support economic growth, and inclusiveness. HTT aims to increase the number of tenants per tower. In doing so, mobile network operators can expand and increase the density of their networks more rapidly, thereby increasing mobile and data penetration rates which will be beneficial to end-users. The latter are strongly correlated with economic growth. Tower companies provide infrastructure which improves quality, availability and affordability of voice and data services for end-users, also in rural areas.
