What happened: Emitel signs long-term agreement with Orange Polska to expand mobile network
Emitel, the Polish tower operator owned by Cordiant Digital Infrastructure, has signed a long-term build-to-suit (BTS) contract with Orange Polska. Under the agreement, Emitel will build hundreds of new mobile towers across Poland, with Orange as the anchor tenant. Emitel will also be able to lease space on these towers to other mobile operators, improving the commercial value of each site.
