MANILA – EdgePoint Infrastructure (“EdgePoint”), ASEAN’s leading independent telecommunications infrastructure company marked its 5th anniversary by announcing it has reached the milestone of 16,000 sites. EdgePoint’s portfolio now comprises 11,080 sites in Indonesia, 3,025 in the Philippines, and 1,900 in Malaysia, with the 16,000th site located in Sumatera.

Since its founding in 2020, EdgePoint has built a market-leading regional presence by working with all major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and business partners to deliver scalable digital infrastructure throughout the region. The company’s footprint is a testament to the EdgePoint approach of lasting relationships, impactful delivery, and agility in an ever-developing sector. 

Suresh Sidhu, CEO and founder of EdgePoint Infrastructure, shared, “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. Reaching the 16,000-site milestone in five years is a clear reflection of this regional momentum, and it reinforces that EdgePoint is the right partner to support this growth as we deliver efficiently, at speed, and at scale”. 

“These 16000 sites are a testament to our commitment to always delivering the best. To do this, we maintain deep relationships with our customers, ensuring we understand their needs, adopt new technologies and creative solutions, manage lean operations to stay nimble, and hire the best in the industry. Looking ahead, we anticipate a significant increase in investments in ASEAN as both public and private sectors accelerate efforts to strengthen digital infrastructure, ensuring economies remain competitive and agile. As the region embraces cloud and AI, robust and sustainable digital infrastructure will be the foundation that enables this next wave of growth. We look forward to finding new ways to work with our customers, ensuring connectivity is accessible to all. 

William Walters, chief executive officer of EdgePoint Philippines, said, “This milestone also reflects the dedication of our teams and the strong partnerships we have built locally. In the Philippines, we are proud to serve as a key digital infrastructure provider during this transformational period, supporting 5G rollout, enhancing broadband access, and helping bridge the digital divide. We remain committed to strengthening the resilience of our customers’ networks, even during challenging times, ensuring they can operate with confidence and continuity. Our ability to maintain above 99.99% average site uptime underscores this commitment and highlights our role as a dependable partner in sustaining critical connectivity nationwide. We will also continue to focus on growing our national footprint, especially deepening our coverage in Luzon and reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the country’s journey toward a fully connected economy.” 

Sidhu added, “ I’m particularly proud of our ability to deliver new towers and collocate tenants on our sites. With nearly 26,000 tenants across the 3 countries, this means our infrastructure is also meeting the objective of being shared by the industry. This success also reflects the support of our shareholders, Digital Bridge and ADIA, and the dedication of our people, all united by a shared vision for sustainable growth and delivery excellence. Our corporate philanthropy programs aimed at schools have also impacted the lives of over 7,500 children in the region. As we celebrate these milestones, our focus is on the future, to continue supporting the growth of advanced networks via innovative infrastructure solutions to create new opportunities for businesses, communities, and governments across ASEAN.  At EdgePoint, we are driven by the belief that connectivity is not just about networks, but about empowering people and economies to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.” 

Through its five-year history, EdgePoint has gained recognition across the region, with awards for innovation, customer centricity and service delivery, and leadership. With more than 16,000 sites now operational, EdgePoint Infrastructure remains steadfast in its mission to build a connected, Digital ASEAN with fit-for-purpose infrastructure that meets the needs of the region.
