How Breeztek Supports Africa’s Telecom Boom

Africa is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world for telecommunications. With millions of new users connecting every year and rising demand for data, voice, and digital services, telecom infrastructure is expanding at record speed. Behind this rapid growth is a network of skilled engineering firms delivering the physical backbone of connectivity.

At Breeztek, we are proud to be one of those firms. From tower foundations to fiber installations, we provide full-scale telecom infrastructure services to the companies shaping Africa’s digital future.

With over a decade of experience and a strong presence in more than 12 African countries, Breeztek is trusted by global telecom brands to deliver reliable infrastructure that supports mobile networks, broadband, security systems, and nationwide rollouts.

Telecom Infrastructure: What We Offer

Our telecom services cover a wide range of needs for mobile operators, ISPs, and infrastructure providers. Whether supporting a single site or delivering across hundreds of locations, Breeztek provides a single point of coordination from planning to execution.

Tower Construction and Rigging
We construct and rig self-supported towers, guyed masts, and rooftop structures to meet a variety of network requirements. This includes all structural steelwork, bolt installation, climbing ladders, lighting, and antenna mounting.

Tower Foundation and Civil Works
Every tower needs a solid base. Breeztek handles foundation design, soil testing, excavation, steel reinforcement, and concrete casting. Our in-house civil team ensures that tower stability meets local and international standards.

Telecom Equipment Installation
We install antennas, microwave links, base transceiver stations (BTS), and other network hardware. Our technicians are trained to work at height and manage complex configurations in coordination with client network teams.

Fiber Optic Deployment
Breeztek lays underground and aerial fiber cables for broadband internet, FTTH (fiber-to-the-home), and enterprise networks. We also handle splicing, jointing, testing, and commissioning.

Site Power Solutions
We provide power systems including backup generators, solar hybrid setups, and battery banks to keep telecom sites running 24/7. Our electrical team ensures smooth integration with telecom equipment.

Security and Monitoring Systems
We offer integrated site security including access control, CCTV systems, alarms, and perimeter protection especially for high-value urban and remote installations.

Project Highlights: ZUKU FTTH and JNIA Terminal III

One example of our telecom success is the ZUKU FTTH project, where Breeztek supported a large-scale rollout of fiber-to-the-home infrastructure. We managed trenching, ducting, cable pulling, splicing, and testing in urban environments, coordinating closely with municipal agencies to ensure safety and minimal disruption.

Another key project was the Distributed Antenna System at Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) Terminal III in Tanzania. This project required high-density indoor coverage with antennas, signal boosters, and structured cabling. Breeztek delivered this complex solution in a high-security environment without impacting airport operations.

These examples reflect our ability to work across different terrain, use cases, and technical requirements, all while meeting deadlines and maintaining quality.

Meeting the Needs of Africa’s Telecom Sector

Telecom operators across Africa face constant pressure to expand quickly, operate efficiently, and reduce downtime. Breeztek helps them meet these challenges through:

Speed of Execution
We mobilize fast. Our teams are equipped and trained to handle multiple sites at once, whether in city centers or remote regions.

Reliable Delivery
Clients need infrastructure that works from day one. We follow strict technical procedures and quality checks to ensure seamless site readiness.

Nationwide and Cross-Border Capacity
With active operations in several African countries, Breeztek supports clients with regional footprints. This is ideal for operators running multi-country rollouts.

Single-Point Project Management
Instead of managing separate vendors for civil, electrical, and telecom works, clients rely on Breeztek to deliver everything. This simplifies coordination and reduces delays.

Support for Upgrades and Decommissioning
Our services also include dismantling old towers, relocating infrastructure, and upgrading legacy systems to meet modern standards.

Building Networks That Connect People

Behind every tower and fiber line is a community waiting to connect. At Breeztek, we understand that our work supports more than just devices and signals. It supports jobs, education, health care, and opportunity.

In many rural regions, the first tower installed can mean the first phone call ever made, the first access to internet banking, or the first digital classroom. We take that responsibility seriously.

That is why we work closely with local communities during site construction. We ensure safety, follow environmental guidelines, and employ local talent where possible to create lasting value.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance

Working on telecom sites often means working at heights, around electrical systems, and in remote areas. Safety is critical. Breeztek maintains a strong Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) culture that includes:

  • Zero lost-time injuries as a consistent performance goal

  • Use of personal protective equipment and certified safety harnesses

  • Routine safety briefings and inspections

  • Environmental protection practices on construction sites

Our teams are trained not only to build but to build safely for themselves, for the communities, and for the environment.

Our Partners in Telecom Growth

Breeztek works with many of the top telecom brands in Africa, including:

  • MTN

  • Airtel

  • Huawei

  • Ericsson

  • Camusat

  • Helios Towers

  • Invendis

These partnerships reflect our ability to meet global standards while delivering efficiently in local markets.

In many projects, we are not just a contractor but an extension of the client’s engineering team, advising on designs, solving logistical challenges, and helping them stay ahead of roll-out targets.

Adapting to New Technologies and Needs

The telecom sector is constantly evolving, with growing use of 5G, smart sensors, and data-heavy applications. Breeztek continues to upgrade our knowledge and tools to stay ahead of the curve.

We are also seeing an increased demand for green telecom sites powered by solar and hybrid energy systems. Our integrated electrical and telecom teams are well-positioned to meet this shift toward sustainable infrastructure.

As more users come online and demand increases, Breeztek will remain a key player in helping telecom providers expand safely, quickly, and cost-effectively.

Let’s Build the Next Connection

The future of Africa is digital, and connectivity is the link. At Breeztek, we are proud to help build the networks that make that future possible.

If you are expanding your telecom infrastructure and need a partner who understands the region, meets your timelines, and delivers across every layer of the build, Breeztek is ready.
