Our experience of partnering with multiple telecom operators has given us a strong understanding of operators' requirements. In Viom, we manage, build and operate the passive infrastructure network and bring efficiency in operations, enable cost optimization and further build and enhance shareholder value. Our capabilities are reflected in the following significant achievements:

• Viom operates and manages approx. 38,000 towers in India delivering industry benchmark uptime to our customers
• We can manage growth while maintaining quality. In 2009-10, Viom rolled out 16,000 towers in less than 12 months, a record un-matched by any other tower operator worldwide. This enabled Uninor (an Indian JV of Telenor) to roll out a near pan-India coverage in less than a fifth of the time taken by its competitors.
• We know how to continuously build efficiencies while maintaining and improving network KPI's for our operator partner.
  • As an example, Viom enabled a reduction in per site Capex by ~30% during the period April-Dec 2009.
  • Our technology orientation enables efficiencies in Opex. E.g. Our Tower Operations Centre ('TOC') enables near 100% remote management of sites.
• Viom has the highest tenancy ratio in the industry of 2.3 tenants per tower against an industry average of 1.60. This has achieved through:
  • Strong Customer focus through account management teams
  • Network planning and engineering that enabled converging the network plans of 2 or more operators
• Local market expertise
  • Quippo Infocomm has significant local presence through its various partners such as Mara Group in Africa, who has multiple offices and man power spread across Africa to maintain and operate the infrastructure
