The mobile tower companies never post advertisements in newspapers for setting up telecommunication towers and instead follow a proper process for erecting new towers, said Circle CEO UP (west) of Indus Towers limited D Senthil Kumar, while addressing newsmen here on Tuesday.
The Indus Towers is the world’s largest telecom tower company. It is pertinent to mention here that many people across to the country fall prey to fraudsters who post classifieds in newspapers claiming that big mobile companies are in need of space for tower and offer attractive rent to the gullible people for allowing the tower on their property. Kumar said that the process of site selection by the company is done on request of its customers — read telecommunication companies — and if someone is interested to offer his property then he/she can directly contact the company on its website.
He said that Indus has a major presence in the 15 out of 22 telecom circles of India, and has 261,159 tenancies and 117,579 towers which make it the largest telecom tower company in the world. The company serves 12 telecommunication companies and claims that three out of every five calls pass through its towers.
“Indus Towers, through its network of well-connected and efficient towers, has been successfully providing seamless connectivity and thus contributing towards the growth of the region’s economy. We are proud to be one of the leading recruiters in UP West and are certainly determined towards developing the local talent to ensure higher employability and productivity in the region,” he said. Kumar claimed that the company aims to expand the region by installing more tower sites for bolstering its seamless communication network in the region.
He said that the company endeavors to maintain highest standards of health and safety and has over 300 ‘Green Sites’ in the region with 30 sites’ being completely diesel free. These Green Sites use advanced energy solutions such as fast charging batteries, and alternatives to diesel generators to reduce carbon footprints.
