EVERYTHING YOU NEED
IN THE TOWERING INDUSTRY

site research, etc.)
- Design (e.g., co-sharing, new towers, etc.)
- Towers Construction
- Decommissioning

INFRASTRUCTURES
HIGHTEL TOWERS manages more
than 400 infrastructure consisting
mostly of local technological poles or
pylons, distributed on the Italian territory
and hospitality businesses of transmission
facilities and antenna for
telecommunication signals.
HIGHTEL TOWERS offers its
customers complete service
for the realization of the sites and
implementation of the network:
- Identification of suitable locations
- Negotiations for acquisitions
- Relations with authorities for permits

BUSINESS MODEL
In 2014 HIGHTEL TOWERS was partially acquired by the Italian leader of the market
Ei Towers (www.eitowers.it) with more than 3000 infrastructures to its credit. They
signed a 5 year contract for the development of new networks in Italy
and the rest of the world.
Ei Towers, which is listed at the Milan Stock exchange, is controlled by Mediaset,
the Italian giant of television broadcasting. Recently Mediaset raised 284 million euros ($393 million)
from the sale of 25% of Ei Towers. Among the new shareholders the biggest investor was
Blackrock, the leading management fund.
The TLC market is in continuous evolution. In the past all operators
considered strategic its own network. Now the focus is on reducing
OPEX and limiting CAPEX for the new infrastructures needed for
advanced technologies (4G and higher)
THE ‘‘LEASE BACK’’ & ‘‘CO-SITING’’
OPPORTUNITY
The network is becoming a “tool” that can (and there
is no reason not to) be co-shared with other TLC
or Media operators.
The future development of the market (5G and cutting edge
technologies) requires substantial new investments. The best
way to achieve that is optimizing the management of network
infrastructure.
This new market approach creates important opportunities: HIGTEL
TOWERS in fact is currently signing contracts with several
international TLC & Media operators for the acquisition of their
network with a subsequent “lease back” agreement.
Such structure, together with a “co-siting” deal with other
operators gives significant advantages minimizing
OPEX and CAPEX for all the clients.
