About the Company

Vertical Bridge

Leases wireless infrastructure to carriers

Vertical Bridge owns and manages wireless infrastructure in the United States, including towers, rooftops, and other structures. It earns revenue by leasing space on these assets to telecommunication carriers, government agencies, and IoT providers under long-term contracts. The company operates within the digital infrastructure ecosystem and often collaborates with Digital Colony portfolio partners to offer combined infrastructure solutions. Unlike many competitors that focus on a single asset type or region, Vertical Bridge combines a broad asset base (towers, rooftops, other structures) with a nationwide reach and long-term lease model to provide reliable connectivity. Its goal is to deliver stable, recurring revenue and enable wireless deployments for carriers, government entities, WISPs, and IoT customers by maintaining and monetizing a diverse portfolio of infrastructure assets.
