The IP-1 model
Infrastructure Provider Category-I registered companies build passive infrastructure — towers, ducts, dark fibre, right-of-way — and lease it to licensed operators.
Why sharing works
- Lower cost per operator
- Faster rollout for operators
- Fewer structures and less clutter
- Better utilisation of assets
Regulatory note
The Telecommunications Act, 2023 is reshaping registrations and authorisations. Track notifications and consult specialists like Infivate Advisers for compliance.
Building a portfolio
Location selection, tenancy ratios and maintenance quality drive the economics.
