About SBA Communications
SBA Communications owns and manages wireless communication towers, renting space on them to wireless service providers who need places to mount their antennas and equipment. The company operates across North, Central and South America, as well as South Africa, and is known for the scale of its shared tower network that supports mobile network coverage in these regions.
The company's revenue comes from two main sources: long-term leasing agreements that let carriers place their equipment on its towers, and site development work that helps customers plan and build out wireless infrastructure. Its customers are wireless service providers who rely on shared tower capacity rather than building their own standalone structures, entering into extended contracts for that access.
