Array is the fifth largest tower owner and operator of shared wireless communications infrastructure in the United States. With 4,450 cell towers, Array enables the deployment of 5G and other wireless technologies throughout the country. Array has a unique wireless carrier heritage and has owned and operated towers for over 40 years. This experience gives Array a robust understanding of the needs of its wireless customers and enables the delivery of exceptional service. Array has built a strong and focused organization that has been and will be relied upon as an efficient and cost-effective partner for colocation. Array’s strategy is to drive increased colocation on its portfolio of unique tower locations and support the delivery of connectivity to the communities in which it operates.
Array’s tenants lease space on Array's communications infrastructure, installing network equipment on Array tower structures. Revenues vary by tenant and are dependent on numerous factors, such as quantity of installed equipment, location of installed equipment on the tower structure and tower location, amongst others. Array has entered into long-term Master License Agreements (MLAs) with its largest customers, which ensures a defined lease term and defined lease escalators. Array generally experiences very limited tenant churn and high lease renewal rates driven by the high cost tenants incur to move sites as well as the potential lack of availability of suitable alternative tower structures. Array's largest tenants include T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.
Array's towers are generally located on leased land, though approximately 18% of the portfolio is located on deeded land or land where there is a perpetual easement. Additionally, over 65% of towers on leased land have a lease expiration date ten years or more in the future. Array's towers generally sit within a fenced compound that contains the tower itself as well as space for tenant equipment including shelters and generators. The average height of an Array tower is 260 feet, with tower heights ranging from 60 to 600 feet. Array's portfolio consists of monopole, self-support (lattice), and guyed towers. In addition to the tower structure, guyed towers have guy-wires that extend down to guy anchors. Substantially all of Array's towers have adequate tower capacity and ground space to accommodate additional tenants.
