Icon for Communication & Internet Infrastructure Communication & Internet Infrastructure

The infrastructure layer underpins the Digital Economy and enables the broader tech ecosystem. Physical assets include networks, data centres and towers, which continue to manage exponentially increasing amounts of data. Driven by this trend, communications and internet infrastructure has experienced unprecedented levels of investment. Capital in the sector ranges from dedicated infrastructure funds to listed trade buyers, all of which are attracted to the recurring nature of the businesses and long-term growth dynamics. 

Arma has deep expertise and relationships in communications and internet infrastructure, underpinned by our long track record in the sector. We have led transactions including infrastructure funds, network providers and incumbent telcos – we expect the sector’s deal flow to continue given its importance to the Digital Economy.
