INWIT ACTIVITIES
INWIT history
Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. is the largest operator in Italy in the wireless infrastructure sector, which constructs and manages technological systems and civil structures (such as towers, pylons and poles) that host radio transmission equipment, mainly for telecommunications operators.
In pursuit of the goal of continuing to support the optimization of wireless services and driving the evolution of towers from passive infrastructure to connected, distributed and protected digital infrastructure, INWIT has expanded its offering in recent years with a series of additional services. In particular, INWIT is developing the coverage service for mobile telephony through its DAS (Distributed Antenna System) systems, which enable optimal coverage of sites with high traffic, both outdoors and indoors, which are particularly important for the technological transition underway from 4G to 5G.
As a result, INWIT is ideally positioned to support the ongoing digitalization process and serve the growing demand for connectivity.
INWIT's operations are directly linked to the birth and development of mobile telephony in Italy, at the hands of the two main operators in the sector. In fact, INWIT is the result of the merger between the wireless operations and infrastructure of Telecom Italia and Vodafone. The Company has a wealth of expertise gained over time through the construction and management of the infrastructure hosting the transmission systems of the different generations of mobile radio services that have followed one another over the years. Thanks to this evolution, which began 40 years ago, INWIT today provides its customers access to areas of strategic importance, also in relation to administrative and environmental aspects.
INWIT's history began in March 2015 following the spin-off of Telecom Italia's "Tower" business line dedicated to the operational management, monitoring and maintenance of the group's towers and repeaters. INWIT then underwent a period of intensive organic growth, which was accompanied, in March 2020, by the merger with Vodafone Towers S.r.l., which significantly transformed its size and strategic profile. INWIT's infrastructure now consists of over 22,000 managed sites, spread throughout Italy, which host the transmission equipment of all the major national operators, and thousands of small cells and DAS systems.
INWIT contributes significantly to the coverage for wireless telephony services in Italy, increasing the number sites also in response to the development of new technologies, starting from 5G. All this makes it an essential infrastructure for the development of telecommunications technologies, providing widespread and extensive coverage that will also contribute substantially to overcoming the digital divide in Italy.
Exactly 5 years after their first day of listing, on June 22, 2020 INWIT's shares were included in the main Italian stock index, the FTSE MIB, before their entry in September into the STOXX® Europe 600, made up of 600 of the companies with the largest market capitalization in Europe.
In July 2020, INWIT successfully entered the debt capital market, issuing its inaugural Bond for 1 billion euros, which enabled the Company to optimize its financial structure by diversifying its sources of funding. The Company's second bond issue, for an amount of 750 million euros, was successfully completed in October 2020.
