TDF is a leading independent communication infrastructure operator that provides essential data services and critical infrastructure to media broadcasting and telecom operators in France. In 2015, Brookfield formed a consortium with its institutional partners to acquire 100% of TDF. Given the increasing demand for mobile data and the investment need for mobile operators to improve their network quality, the portfolio offered strong growth potential.
Since acquisition, Brookfield has successfully developed a build-to-suit tower program, completed the build of more than 1,000 new towers and strengthened relationships with the major mobile network operators to position TDF as the 5G partner of choice. Today, the portfolio consists of 7,000 multi-purpose towers and active rooftop sites and 5,000 km of fiber backbone infrastructure.
