Telecom ATC, Bharti Infratel look to invest in fibre networks, small cells
KOLKATA: Telecom tower companies such as ATC and Bharti Infratel are exploring investments in fibre optic networks and small cells to create additional revenue opportunities as their primary rental revenue from mobile operators slows.
Analysts and industry experts estimate that tower companies will need to spend $10 billion, or about Rs 68,000 crore, on fiberising networks and small cells over the next five years to get into new businesses in an increasingly data-centric arena.
Small cells are short-range mobile base stations to complement large macro-cell towers.
American Tower Corp (ATC), which has invested in fibre networks in Mexico, is looking to bring those learnings to India, its Asia president Amit Sharma has said. “Towercos will have to invest in new growth areas amid exponential data growth and spectral scarcity, and ATC is currently testing fibre and small cells opportunities in India,” he told ET.
Bharti Infratel, the tower arm of Bharti group, declined comment on upcoming investments in fibre optics or small cells.
