infraXchange is the leading series of events for the wireless infrastructure ecosystem, connecting decision-makers across the globe. From macro networks to in-building coverage, infraXchange spans strategic and policy insights on infrastructure sharing and investment models through to operational best practices that enhance performance, sustainability and commercialisation. Known as TowerXchange until September 2025, infraXchange is where the industry meets to share insights, forge partnerships, and shape the future of connectivity.

Why the change?

Back when TowerXchange was founded in 2012, the telecom tower industry was a nascent, relatively unknown sector. Towercos and the issues that mattered to them most were overlooked in wider telecom events and TowerXchange gave them a home and a voice. TowerXchange’s research became the de facto source of intelligence on the industry, tracking the large waves of sale and leasebacks, creating the go-to source of tower counts and news and providing in-depth news and analysis delving into the inner workings of the sector.

Over time the industry has matured. The big M&A deals have now happened in most markets, towercos have continued to refine their operations and business models and the industry is a well understood asset class.

The next era is one of fewer inorganic growth opportunities, higher interest rates and ever more cautious operator spending. It is also an era where telecom networks are becoming critical national infrastructure whilst AI and radical changes in the way that networks are architected are redefining telco priorities.

For telcos grappling with low revenue growth, opex and capex optimisation is front of mind. Towercos and tower sharing are a critical part of this strategy, but must also be viewed in the context of other partnerships and industry shifts. To better meet the needs of operators and drive more strategic engagement with towercos and other key partners, TowerXchange has become infraXchange.
