Lisbon, December 27, 2022 – Following the press release made by SIRESP S.A. on December 6th, Cellnex hereby informs that it has signed a contract with SIRESP, SA for the provision of maintenance services for the basic support infrastructures for SIRESP (Integrated System for Emergency and Security Networks of Portugal).
The contract referred to above corresponds to lot 4 of the international public tender for the provision of services to SIRESP’s network and will have a duration of five years, for an amount that may reach 5.7 million euros.
