SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: SBAC) is a real estate investment trust that owns, operates and develops wireless communications infrastructure. Its core business is the leasing of space on communications towers, rooftop sites and other wireless structures to mobile network operators, broadband providers and other wireless service customers. The company also provides site development, construction and ongoing site management services to support the deployment and operation of wireless networks.
In addition to traditional macro towers, SBA offers a range of infrastructure solutions designed for dense urban and suburban markets, including small cells, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and fiber backhaul and transport services. These offerings enable customers to densify their networks, expand capacity and improve coverage for voice, data and emerging wireless services. SBA’s revenue model centers on long-term site leases and colocation agreements that allow multiple tenants to use the same physical assets.
SBA operates across multiple geographies, with a significant presence in the United States and operations in other regions of the Americas and select international markets. The company supports mobile carriers, wireless internet providers and enterprise users by providing critical real estate and technical services needed to scale wireless networks for technologies such as 4G LTE and 5G. SBA’s footprint is built through a combination of organic site development and strategic acquisitions.
Founded in 1989, SBA has grown into one of the larger independent owners and operators of wireless communications infrastructure and is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker SBAC. The company emphasizes long-term contractual relationships with network operators and continued investment in infrastructure to support evolving wireless demand.
