The opportunity

Endless demand.
Infinite opportunity.

How we work, shop and socialise is fundamentally changing. As more and more of our lives move online the reliance on digital infrastructure is continuing to increase.

The greater the demand for the internet, the greater the demand for the infrastructure to support it.

30 billion network devices by 2023, nearly half of which will be machine-to-machine

800 million new users expected to be online by 2023

25GB of data created by connected cars per hour, equivalent to nearly 30 hours of HS video

Amazon estimates that 100 milliseconds of latency costs them 1% in sales

The Opportunity

What we do.

Through the critical infrastructure assets we invest into, we seek to improve the accessibility of reliable, functional internet to billions of people – including developing countries – globally.
