Cellnex Telecom and Haya Real Estate sign an exclusive agreement to speed up rollout of telecommunications networks in the urban environment

Barcelona, 14 March 2017. Cellnex Telecom, Europe’s leading independent operator of wireless telecommunications infrastructure, and Haya Real Estate (HRE), the largest Spanish real estate management services and property assets company, have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement to identify ideal locations among the property assets managed by Haya RE in urban locations and, if appropriate, to locate buildings suitable for housing telecommunications infrastructures that will make it possible to roll out telecommunications networks.

Haya RE will respond to technical and suitability indications from Cellnex and will propose sites from among its extensive portfolio of properties to allow the operator to perform the installation, servicing and maintenance of telecommunications infrastructure, contributing to the rollout of networks in cities and in small and medium-sized municipalities throughout Spain.

To achieve this, Haya RE has estimated that it has more than 13,500 properties in its portfolio – from financial assets – that could be selected under the exclusive agreement signed by both companies.

The agreement reached is part of the cooperation strategy that Cellnex is developing with various companies, and will make it possible to increase the density of networks in the urban environment to respond to current and future connectivity needs while positioning it in the rollout of the fifth generation of mobile telephony (5G) or that of Distributed Antenna Systems, or DAS.
