As the global economy becomes increasingly digital, regions that expand connectivity, capacity, and network resilience will drive the next phase of growth. Latin America stands at a pivotal moment. Rising data demand, rapid digital adoption, and persistent infrastructure gaps make the region one of the most compelling opportunities for collaborative investment in digital infrastructure.
A Global Platform for Long-Term Infrastructure Investment
Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (“Radius Global”) is a leading international telecommunications and digital infrastructure investment company focused on the acquisition and management of critical network assets, including cell site leases, switching centers, fiber aggregation points, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), data centers, and towers.
With more than 13,800 lease streams across 23 countries and over $3.3 billion invested, Radius Global operates across five continents and is backed by long-term institutional capital from EQT Active Core Infrastructure and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments).
Our approach is built on a simple principle: provide capital that supports network expansion while allowing operators to retain full operational control and long-term strategic flexibility.
Latin America: Strong Demand, Significant Opportunity
Latin America’s importance extends beyond economic growth. In an increasingly complex global environment, countries are prioritizing digital inclusion, economic resilience, and expanded connectivity as essential foundations for long-term growth.
From an infrastructure perspective, the opportunity is substantial:
- A persistent digital divide across urban and rural areas
- Early-stage 5G deployment in many markets
- Limited fiber penetration relative to demand
- Rapid growth in mobile data usage and cloud services
At the same time, the region’s size and geographic complexity make network expansion capital-intensive. Closing this gap requires collaboration, efficient financing, and longterm alignment between operators and infrastructure investors.
A Collaborative Model Aligned with Regional Needs
Radius Global’s model provides operators with immediate capital through long-term agreements in exchange for defined real property interests related to their network infrastructure. These transactions are structured as off-balance-sheet financing, enabling operators to:
- Accelerate network deployment and modernization
- Improve financial flexibility
- Fund strategic initiatives such as fiber expansion and 5G rollout
- Maintain full operational control and customer relationships
This partnership-driven approach has proven effective across the region. In Brazil, for example, more than three quarters of our acquisitions originate from partnerships with primary industry leaders, reflecting the value of speed, customization, and long-term alignment.
Unlocking Embedded and Unexpected Value
Collaborative investment can also help operators identify and realize value that may otherwise remain untapped. As a matter of fact, one of the fundamental differences between Radius Global and traditional commercial real estate investors is our focus on the permanence of the operator, rather than asset disposal or redevelopment for commercial use. Unlike others who seek returns through sales or redevelopment, Radius Global is committed to long-term ownership of digital infrastructure, valuing the industrial importance to operators over mere real estate value.
Our flexible capital solutions allow us to invest in assets that may have limited traditional real estate appeal but are critical to network operations. You can find several examples of these opportunities in the geographic diversity of our portfolio, such as in the Amazon Rainforest, or the Magellanic Pampa at the border of Argentina, or even in a very remote fishing village in the Chilean islands. In these challenging environments, such assets are invaluable for the telecommunication companies, allowing us to unlock embedded and unexpected value for our customers.
Flexible capital combined with a partnership mindset enables innovative solutions that strengthen network economics while expanding connectivity where it is needed most.
Enabling the Next Phase of Digital Growth
Latin America’s digital future depends on expanding infrastructure faster and more efficiently across diverse geographies. This challenge cannot be addressed by any single stakeholder.
Collaborative investment models that combine operator expertise with long-term infrastructure capital can accelerate deployment, improve financial flexibility, and support sustainable growth.
For Radius Global, Latin America is more than a growth market, it is a strategic priority. By working alongside operators and industry partners, we aim to unlock the capital, capacity, and infrastructure needed to connect more communities and support the region’s digital transformation.
