Where Mobile Networks Are Built, Shared and Scaled
8 September 2026 | 11:00 - 17:15
Africa’s mobile networks are evolving; not just in coverage, but in how they are built, powered, shared and monetised. Rising energy costs, densification, non macro deployments and new technologies are forcing operators to rethink traditional infrastructure models.
The InfraXchange Summit brings together the people making those decisions: TowerCos, mobile network operators, infrastructure partners, fibre providers, satellite operators, energy providers and infrastructure investors. This is where the practical realities of network deployment meet commercial and operational strategy.
Through interactive workshops and closed room discussion, InfraXchange focuses on how mobile infrastructure is delivered on the ground - from sharing models and non macro networks to how fibre, satellite and power integrate with mobile build outs. The emphasis is on what works in real African markets, not theoretical network design.
The InfraXchange Summit helps the mobile infrastructure ecosystem align on deployment models that reduce cost, improve resilience and support the next phase of network growth.
