American Tower is a global real estate investment trust that owns, operates, and develops wireless and broadcast infrastructure. It primarily leases space on its 220,000+ multi-tenant communications towers to wireless carriers, broadcasters, and other network operators, generating revenue from long-term rent with initial terms of 5-10 years and renewals. The towers and services enable tenants to mount their equipment and connect networks; rent is based on the amount of equipment and tower location. The company differentiates itself through its large global portfolio, scale, and high barriers to entry in tower construction, giving it a diversified, stable tenant base that includes major carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. The goal is to provide secure, long-term, essential communications infrastructure and to deliver predictable cash flow for shareholders by expanding and optimizing its tower network worldwide.

CVC DIF expands Aurora Towers platform with Canadian telecom tower acquisition. (IN BRIEF) CVC DIF, the infrastructure business of global private markets manager CVC, has announced that its portfolio company Aurora Towers has signed a definitive agreement to acquire American Tower Corporation's Canadian telecommunications tower business, comprising 255 wireless communication sites across Canada. The acquisition, to be made through DIF Infrastructure VIII, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, and will expand Aurora's tower portfolio from more than 400 sites to over 650 sites. CVC DIF said the highly complementary portfolio has minimal overlap with Aurora's existing footprint and will strengthen Aurora Towers' position as one of Canada's largest independent wireless tower operators. The deal follows CVC DIF's late-2025 acquisition of SBA Communications' Canadian wireless tower business, which established Aurora as an independent Canadian tower platform, and is intended to enhance Aurora's scale, customer relationships and ability to support major Canadian wireless operators with network infrastructure needs. (PRESS RELEASE) LUXEMBOURG, 27-Aug-2026 - /EuropaWire/ - CVC DIF, the infrastructure business of global private markets manager CVC, has announced that its portfolio company Aurora Towers has signed a definitive agreement to acquire American Tower Corporation's Canadian telecommunications tower business. The transaction covers 255 wireless communication sites across Canada. The investment will be made through DIF Infrastructure VIII and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The acquisition will significantly expand Aurora Towers' portfolio, increasing its site base from more than 400 locations to over 650 sites across Canada. CVC DIF said the transaction will further strengthen Aurora's position as one of Canada's largest independent wireless tower operators. The portfolio being acquired is highly complementary to Aurora's existing footprint and has minimal overlap with its current sites. CVC DIF said the combination will meaningfully enhance Aurora's scale and reach, while expanding its relationships with major Canadian wireless operators across a broader site base. Aurora Towers was established as an independent Canadian tower platform after CVC DIF acquired SBA Communications' Canadian wireless tower business in late 2025. Since that initial investment, Aurora has made significant progress in becoming a standalone organisation. The company has strengthened its commercial capabilities through a dedicated management team and has further developed its relationships with Canadian wireless operators. Tom Goossens, Partner and Co-Head of the DIF Infrastructure Funds at CVC DIF, said the acquisition is a natural next step in the development of Aurora Towers. He said the acquired portfolio is highly complementary to Aurora's existing sites and will significantly increase the scale of the platform. Goossens added that the transaction will further strengthen Aurora's relationships with Canada's leading wireless operators. He said the combination will create a stronger independent tower business with the capabilities and scale to support customers as they continue investing in networks across Canada. Kanan Joshi, Partner, Co-Head of North America and Head of Digital Infrastructure at CVC DIF, said Aurora Towers has built strong momentum since becoming an independent platform. He said the combination of the two portfolios will give Aurora a stronger foundation to support customers and is aligned with CVC DIF's broader strategy of building resilient digital infrastructure platforms across North America. Lawrence Gleason, Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Towers, said the company has made strong progress since becoming an independent platform and described the acquisition as an important next step in its growth. He said bringing together two highly complementary portfolios will broaden Aurora's presence across Canada and strengthen its ability to support the country's leading wireless operators with their network infrastructure needs. CVC DIF said the transaction reflects continued demand for independent digital infrastructure platforms capable of supporting wireless network investment and connectivity requirements across large geographic markets.

Vodafone Spain seeks to replace Vantage Towers with Cellnex, American Tower agreements. As the telco looks to reduce its reliance on Vantage Towers July 27, 2026 Vodafone Spain is preparing to restructure its passive infrastructure strategy with the aim of redistributing some of its telecommunications sites between Cellnex and American Tower Corporation (ATC). The move will reduce the role of Vantage Towers, the Vodafone-owned firm that has been one of the Spanish operator's main tower providers to date. The move is part of a new strategy spearheaded by Zegona, owner of Vodafone Spain since 2024, aimed at optimizing operating costs and renegotiating infrastructure contracts considered strategic for the company's mobile network. According to Expansión, Vodafone Spain will gradually replace some of the sites managed by Vantage Towers through new agreements with Cellnex and American Tower. The redistribution aims to improve the financial terms of the contracts and increase the network's operational flexibility, at a time when operators continue to review their cost structures to finance the necessary investments in 5G, fiber, and future mobile networks. Vantage Towers has long been Vodafone's main tower operator in Spain. However, since Zegona took ownership of Vodafone Spain in 2024, Zegona has sought to get out of its contracts that have bound the carrier to Vantage, reports Expansión. Vantage Towers was formed as a spin-off from Vodafone, hosting the telco's passive infrastructure throughout Europe. The towerco is now majority-owned by Oak Holdings, the holding company owned by Vodafone, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), and KKR. The European telecommunications infrastructure market has undergone a profound transformation with the growth of so-called tower companies. Companies such as Cellnex, American Tower, and Vantage Towers manage tens of thousands of sites that they lease to multiple operators under a shared infrastructure model. This strategy accelerates the deployment of new technologies, reduces duplication, and optimizes the use of physical assets, while freeing up capital so that operators can focus their investments on networks, services, and spectrum. Vodafone Spain's decision also reflects the growing competition among major tower operators to secure long-term contracts with telecommunications companies. These agreements guarantee recurring revenue and solidify the position of tower companies as essential players within the digital infrastructure ecosystem.
