Our focus
From the highly secure, real-time data streams that financial services rely on, to the advances in robotics that are transforming the country’s booming engineering sector… Ireland’s ability to ‘do business’ will intrinsically and increasingly rely on high-quality, lightning fast and reliable connectivity, making the country an attractive growth market for us. Our rooftop towers (RTTs) and DAS/small cell solutions have the potential to bring greater coverage and capacity to its dense urban centres, such as Dublin, where almost a quarter of the country’s people and the majority of such businesses are typically based.
At the same time, with an average of 70 people per sq. km, Ireland has one of the lowest population densities in Europe*. It’s next most populous city after Dublin (1.2m people) is Cork (0.2m). Such spread out, remote and rural communities have traditionally been hard for mobile network operators to reach, in a way that provides both high quality connectivity for end-users and viable, cost-effective implementation for the operators.
Our presence
We’re one of the leading TowerCo’s in Ireland, with the second largest market share by number of sites.
A message from our management in Ireland
“As Ireland looks to consolidate its position as home to some of the world’s leading technology, engineering and ICT companies, the country’s ability to ‘do business’ will increasingly rely on the high-quality, lightning fast and reliable connectivity our infrastructure enables.”

Managing Director, Vantage Towers Ireland
Case Study
As part of our ESG initiative under our ‘Towers for Good’ pillar, Vantage Towers deployed a multi user GBT structure to the Island. Residents of Cape Clear now have access to high-speed Broadband & Mobile connectivity with speeds of over 80mps. The structure also resulted in improvements to surrounding islands and the mainland coastal regions which were difficult to serve. Overwhelming feedback has been received from the local community, businesses and visitors.

FLM Contract
Vantage Towers Ireland has announced a five-year sustainable maintenance deal with Obelisk which is designed to lengthen the life span of its nationwide infrastructure.
The innovative first line support programme is designed to lower Vantage Towers’ carbon footprint and is one of the first major support contracts signed by the Irish entity, which was founded in 2020.
Vantage Towers is one of Europe’s largest tower companies with over 86k sites across ten markets, with 1,300 locations in Ireland.
Ireland is the second market in Europe after Portugal to initiate this preventative infrastructure maintenance programme.
“This programme brings a new dimension to tower maintenance. Previously the industry generally looked at active components, such as antennae, and not the environment around it,” said Vantage Towers MD Brian McHugh.
“However, by carrying out active ongoing maintenance of the infrastructure on our sites we can monitor energy usage, reduce carbon emissions and most importantly, prolong the useful asset life of the tower.
“We estimate that our built assets should have a lifespan of at least three decades if they are proactively checked and maintained on ongoing basis.
“The most sustainable tower is the one that already exists, and we estimate that we can significantly increase our useful asset life by taking this positive nationwide step.”
Vantage Towers’ portfolio includes towers, masts, rooftop sites, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cells.
At Vantage Towers Ireland, these are split almost exactly evenly between urban-based rooftop towers and more rural ground-based tower sites.
Based in Cavan, and recently acquired by Portuguese telecoms company Visabeira, Obelisk provides infrastructure solutions for the telecoms and power sectors in Ireland, and the UK.
“Obelisk are delighted to be awarded the Vantage Towers passive and active maintenance contract, which fits perfectly as part of our strategy of offering more turnkey solutions to clients,” said John Cullen, COO Obelisk.
“We will bring our vast experience to this portfolio and look forward to following Vantage Towers as a strategic partner on this sustainable journey.”
