Xplornet Communications, Canada's largest rural-focused broadband service provider, has closed the acquisition of TowerCo's tower assets in Manitoba.
With the acquisition of more than 160 wireless communications towers located across rural Manitoba, Xplornet is executing on its infrastructure investment plans to accelerate the deployment of its 5G broadband network and to expand mobility coverage to households and businesses throughout rural Manitoba.
In recent years, Xplornet has focused on building its network in Manitoba. With both Xplore Mobile and Xplornet Enterprise Solutions headquartered in Brandon, Manitoba, as well as with the recent acquisition of CCI Wireless and its Manitoba subsidiary WiBand Communications, Xplornet has been executing on its plans to invest in Manitoba with the goal of providing rural Manitobans with improved and reliable Internet and cellular service offering.
Today's announcement builds on Xplornet's state-of-the-art hybrid fibre wireless network to connect Manitobans to what matters in the digital world.
Allison Lenehan, President and CEO of Xplornet
This is a good site acquisition opportunity for Xplornet as we are finalizing agreements with the Province of Manitoba to deliver fast and reliable Internet and cellular services to rural Manitoban homes and businesses.
Charlie Clark, President of TowerCo
We are delighted to have closed this deal and see Xplornet acquire our entire tower assets portfolio.
