American Tower Corporation is a leading independent owner, operator and developer of multi-tenanted communications real estate. We are the world’s largest publicly traded real estate investment trust (NYSE: AMT) and constituents of the Fortune 500 and S&P 500.
Through our portfolio of 220,000 communications sites spanning 25 countries and six continents, we play an integral role in supporting the global mobile ecosystem.
We have been an active stakeholder in the European telecommunications market since 2012 and currently operate over 30,000 sites across France, Germany, and Spain.
Our core business is the leasing of antenna space on our towers to multiple mobile network operators and other wireless and broadcast service providers to enable them to provide services to consumers and businesses. In addition to leasing space on our towers, we provide customized solutions through our in-building systems, managed rooftops, distributed antenna systems and small cells.
Our shared infrastructure model reduces the overall investment and operating costs for mobile network operators, enabling them to deliver faster network rollout in more locations, improve coverage and raise service quality. Sharing infrastructure also prevents the proliferation of masts, thereby reducing the overall aesthetic impact and carbon footprint of mobile networks.
