(Telecompaper) Orange Kenya announced it has signed an agreement with Eaton Towers for the management of its passive network infrastructure. The 15-year tower management and leasing deal is focused on both the maintenance of existing sites by Eaton Towers and the building of new sites. This will help reduce operating costs and capital expenditure, while improving network coverage and quality, as well as reducing Orange's overall carbon footprint. The Kenyan operator will retain ownership of its existing portfolio of over 1,000 towers while Eaton Towers will invest in passive infrastructure upgrades and build new towers to provide Orange Kenya with improved coverage and network quality. Similar deals have already been struck in Uganda, Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire.
