EdgePoint Reaches 16,000 Sites as ASEAN Digital Infrastructure Demand Surges

EdgePoint Infrastructure, ASEAN’s leading independent telecommunications infrastructure company, has reached a milestone of 16,000 sites on its fifth anniversary, reflecting the region’s accelerating demand for digital connectivity. The company’s portfolio now includes 11,080 sites in Indonesia, 3,025 in the Philippines, and 1,900 in Malaysia, with the 16,000th site located in Sumatra. Since its founding in 2020, EdgePoint has tripled its portfolio, driven by more than 30% annualized growth, according to a company announcement.

The expansion underscores the strategic importance of telecommunications infrastructure in ASEAN, where governments and businesses are prioritizing digital investments. Suresh Sidhu, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of EdgePoint Infrastructure, said, “Our three markets are each at different stages of growth, but they share a common focus where governments and businesses are both prioritizing investments in digital connectivity.” He added that the milestone reinforces EdgePoint’s role as a partner capable of delivering efficiently, at speed, and at scale.

EdgePoint’s growth has been fueled by working with all major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and business partners. The company’s sites now host nearly 26,000 tenants across the three countries, indicating a high level of infrastructure sharing. This approach aligns with industry trends toward tower sharing to reduce costs and accelerate network deployment. Sidhu noted, “With nearly 26,000 tenants across the 3 countries, this means our infrastructure is also meeting the objective of being shared by the industry.”

Looking ahead, EdgePoint expects a significant increase in investments in ASEAN as both public and private sectors accelerate efforts to strengthen digital infrastructure. Sidhu emphasized that robust and sustainable digital infrastructure will be the foundation enabling the next wave of growth driven by cloud and AI. The company also highlighted its corporate philanthropy programs, which have impacted over 7,500 children in the region through school-focused initiatives.

In Malaysia, EdgePoint is focusing on supporting partners in advancing 5G rollout and expanding coverage to underserved rural areas. Muniff Kamaruddin, Chief Executive Officer of EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd, said, “Our focus in Malaysia will be to continue supporting our partners in advancing 5G rollout and expanding coverage to underserved rural areas, ensuring that no community is left behind in the digital economy.” The company is also enhancing its capabilities in in-building coverage (IBC) solutions to meet demand for seamless connectivity in high-density urban environments.

EdgePoint’s achievements have been recognized across the region with awards for innovation, customer centricity, and service delivery. The company remains committed to its mission of “Building a Connected, Digital ASEAN” with fit-for-purpose infrastructure. For more information, visit EdgePoint Infrastructure.
