A target of 50,000 towers for the next seven to ten years was set and we are steadily progressing towards this target, as of May 2023 there are approximately 22,650 cell towers in the country which is almost half. EdgePoint has a great team in country, and I am excited to continue supporting our customers’ connectivity expansion plans by identifying potential sites for new telecom towers as well as providing a network of suitable sites for co-location”.
