Our focus

Portugal is a mid-sized market in which more than 98% of the population receive 4G coverage from its leading mobile network operators. The country’s population of 10.2 million is relatively evenly spread out across its 18 districts, with its largest city (Lisbon) home to just over 500,000 people.

This is reflected in the composition of our portfolio, which is weighted more towards our ground-based tower (GBT) sites, that typically serve areas with low population density, than our rooftop tower (RTT) sites, that typically serve more densely-populated parts of the country.

Our presence

Our own tower portfolio broadly reflects the market as a whole, in which GBT sites account for the majority of the total sites in Portugal. The majority of the country’s RTT sites are owned by Vantage Towers and one leading mobile network operator.

A message from our management in Portugal

A message from our management in Portugal

Tourism, industry and agriculture – three major drivers of the Portuguese economy – will all benefit from the increased efficiencies and heightened performance that 5G-enabled technologies bring. Our infrastructure will enable those next-generation technologies to reach as many people as possible, across as many different demographics as possible.

Paolo Favaro
Managing Director, Vantage Towers Portugal

We’re constantly evolving our infrastructure and operations to ensure better, more sustainable connectivity across Portugal. See some of our recent activity below.

Wind

We currently have five wind power sites in operation across Portugal, in locations such as Montachique Norte, Turcifal and Póvoa de Galega. Over a 30 day period they typically enable us to avoid more than 130kg of CO2.

Solar

We currently operate 24 photovoltaic systems across our Portuguese sites, and we are currently testing self-consumption PV systems as part of our commitment to 100% green energy sources.

Transforming connectivity in urban environments

The partnership will allow us to leverage a host of new technological connectivity solutions for people, companies and services, namely through public lighting stations, enhancing and diversifying their use and democratizing access at various levels.

"The agreement reached recognizes in Smartlamppost solutions a spirit of innovation that fits the vision that we have for the Portuguese market, increases the portfolio of services we offer and allows and makes available to our customers the best connectivity locations at the national level."

Paolo Favaro, MD of Vantage Towers Portugal.

For us at Vantage Towers Portugal, this partnership showcases the importance of collaboration. With the expansion of the business in the country, we’re set to play an important role in the availability of innovative services and products of housing and hosting solutions in urban environments.

This partnership is strategic, to the extent that the two entities meet the conditions and specialized know-how for the development of synergies, pursuing the implementation of connectivity solutions that contribute to improve the daily lives of our local clients at all levels.
