The Tower Industry
The tower industry's ability to generate recurring revenue provides significant sales and earnings visibility. Rental revenue, a recurring revenue stream, among tower companies typically contributes over 80% of total revenue. This model provides the industry significant comfort given an unstable economic environment. The long-term contracts usually include price increases consistent with inflation or based on some fixed percentage, which also provides some visibility to revenue growth over time. The demand for new towers remains robust in the U.S. Robust demand can be seen at tower companies such as Crown Castle (CCI), which experienced a 30% increase in applications for tower space in 1Q09, 40% y/y in 2Q09, and 41% in 3Q09. The industry expects operators to continue improving network capacity for voice traffic, while the upgrade to 3G and 4G data speeds should maintain robust demand for more towers. Crown Castle (CCI) and SBA Communications (SBAC) are major players in this arena.
Juniper Group follows a strategy to become a significant business force in providing high value services in the infrastructure service market on a national basis.
