Building or buying towers is not the only way to bring new wireless sites to market. Rooftops, water tanks, railroad corridors, retail properties and multifamily communities can host wireless equipment without the capital that owning or building a tower requires, and property owners increasingly look to site managers to market and manage those locations. This session examines the capital-light model: how managed portfolios compare with owned infrastructure on speed to market, margins and risk, what carriers want from non-owned sites as networks densify, and what it takes to structure owner agreements, scale geographically diverse portfolios and turn property relationships into recurring revenue. Panelists from site management companies, property owners and carriers will debate where the managed model fits alongside tower ownership and where it does not, including opportunities in private networks. Attendees will leave with a clearer view of when to own, when to manage, and how to evaluate a managed-site partnership.
