Why Are Towers Important?
Towers serve as the core network and the current underpinning of 4G/LTE networks. Further, towers are also central to the performance of 5G networks. Wireless carrier M&A activity helps support rising data usage, technological upgrades, and new spectrum deployment. These wireless carriers lease vertical space on towers so that they, as tenants, can place communications equipment on the tower. Notably, each tower has the capacity to support 4 to 6 of these different tenants.
Overall, towers are characterized by recurring revenue, rental escalators, long-term contracts (initial term of 10+ years), high operating leverage / incremental margins, low maintenance capital expenditures and leases to investment-grade counterparties. Beyond the traditional wireless carriers, our towers scope also extends to companies that lease space on towers to TV and radio broadcasters, public safety, and Internet of Things providers.
Overall, there are 155k+ towers, with 350k+ tenants operating in the United States. This makes the tower sector an incredibly diverse market.
