The continued growth of wireless telecommunications requires a significant and sustained investment in passive infrastructure assets. The Indian mobile telephone market is projected to exceed 20 crore subscribers by as early as 2008. Meeting this demand will require an exponential increase in tower assets, supporting the benefits of an outsourced infrastructure business model.
An infrastructure partner must be able to manage this large base of assets and to improve productivity as the scale of the asset base increases. IMIL’s single-minded focus and neutrality as an infrastructure provider are key, as they enable us to achieve materially higher levels of co-location than can individual operators or captive tower companies. IMIL offers the greatest combination of operating, technical and financial resources to provide best-in-class service to operators in India.
IMIL’s approach to infrastructure sharing benefits mobile telecommunications operators by:
- reducing expenses for operators and subscribers
- specializing in tower infrastructure, which enables operator management to focus on their core business of obtaining new subscribers and enhancing service and revenues
- facilitating expansion of operator coverage areas by making shareable tower space available in areas where single-operator towers are not economical
- focusing on automating, standardizing and centralizing the fault management of towers to improve productivity and reduce downtime for operators
- introducing innovations and best practices by augmenting IMIL’s local expertise with the insights of IMIL’s international resources
