Helios Towers has commemorated 15 years of transformative work in Ghana’s telecommunications landscape with a high-profile gala at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre—celebrating a legacy of connectivity, innovation, and inclusion.
Launched in Ghana in 2010, Helios Towers has since grown into one of Africa’s leading independent telecom infrastructure providers. The company has enabled mobile coverage for more than 18 million Ghanaians, established over 1,096 tower sites nationwide, and taken industry leadership in green energy innovation with more than 400 solar-powered towers deployed.
“Ghana is where our story began—and it remains the heartbeat of our operations,” said Kweku Frempong, Managing Director of Helios Towers Ghana. “This milestone is a tribute to resilience, innovation, and the impact that comes from investing in people and potential.”
The celebratory event brought together key stakeholders, including the Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Hon. Sam George, and Board Chairman Sir Sam Jonah, alongside telecom executives, government officials, and community partners.
From its beginnings as a single-market operator, Helios Towers has expanded its footprint to over 14,000 sites across nine markets in Africa and the Middle East—including Tanzania, DRC, Senegal, South Africa, and Oman. The company credits its growth to strategic local partnerships and a deeply rooted Ghanaian workforce, with 100% of Helios Towers Ghana employees being Ghanaian and 22% of them women—an impressive feat in a male-dominated field.
Helios Towers Ghana has also made significant investments in rural connectivity, with more than 290 rural sites and nearly $1 million directed toward staff training and upskilling. Its green energy drive is exemplified by the countrywide solar rollout, underscoring its commitment to sustainability.
Now entering its next chapter, Helios Towers continues to position itself as a key enabler of Ghana’s digital future.
