As sophistication in the management of MEA’s towers continues to grow, the opening panel at the 2016 TowerXchange Meetup Africa and Middle East focussed on the subject of operational excellence in passive infrastructure management, and what this really means - whether managing your own sites, those of a third party or overseeing a towerco relationship. TowerXchange were delighted to welcome Helios Towers Africa, Airtel Nigeria, MTN Ghana and Vodafone Procurement Company to the panel.
With towerco focus having shifted from acquisition to the integration and optimisation of acquired portfolios, and management of passive infrastructure amongst operators who retain towers increasingly becoming a specialist discipline, the opening panel of the 4th Annual TowerXchange Meetup Africa & Middle East focussed on the topic of “operational excellence”, welcoming expertise from three of the continent’s biggest mobile network operators, MTN, Airtel and Vodafone and Africa’s third largest towerco, Helios Towers Africa.
