Manufacturers and operators of smart street furniture, ENE.HUB and HUB, are being acquired by Australian Tower Network.
In order to host small cell deployments and “advanced smart city services” in the 5G and public WiFi markets, according to ATN, the street furniture will be used.
Australian Super acquired 70% of ATN from Optus in October of last year.
A division of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners is ENE.HUB.
“ENE.HUB and HUB’s vision closely matches with ATN’s goal,” stated Cameron Evans, chief executive officer of ATN, “to empower digitally linked communities across Australia through a broad range of innovative digital infrastructure.”
According to Evans, combining the knowledge of the two organisations gives clients a variety of infrastructure options from which to provide the community with quick, dependable connectivity services.
“ATN’s existing competence in deploying, owning, and operating macro towers and rooftop sites combined with the design, production, and deployment of small cells and smart city infrastructure opens up a lot of opportunities.”
