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.

What the Summit helps you unlock

TowerCos & MNOs

Clear insight into sharing models, non-macro deployments and cost-efficient network expansion.

Infrastructure & Fibre Partners

Understanding how mobile, fibre and edge assets integrate in dense networks.

Energy Providers

Visibility into the energy demands of modern mobile infrastructure.

Investors

A grounded view of mobile infrastructure economics and risk.

Agenda highlights

Practical discussions on how mobile infrastructure is deployed, shared and evolved.

  • The Future of Sharing: Is Open Access Under Threat?
    Examining how consolidation, cost pressure and regulation are reshaping sharing models.

  • Network at the Edge: Where Coverage Meets Compute
    How non-macro infrastructure and edge compute are changing deployment strategies.

  • Designing Africa’s Multi-Layer Connectivity Ecosystem
    Why mobile, fibre, satellite and energy work best as integrated systems.
