EI Towers is an Italian company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Italy. It is a publicly-owned company with over 530 employees and offers network infrastructure and integrated services for network operators in various sectors, including television, radio, mobile telecommunications, wireless internet, public utilities, and government institutions. The company provides connectivity and distribution services and generated less than $500 million in revenue in 2023.
On 24 May, the Italian government approved a decree that allows state broadcaster RAI to reduce its stake in TV tower operator RaiWay to 30%, enabling a potential partnership with commercial competitor EI Towers. The decree stipulates that RAI can sell a stake as long as it retains a 30% holding, promoting "aggregation between entities in the same sector" that comply with relevant regulations. Currently, RAI holds 65% of RaiWay, while EI Towers is 60% owned by fund F2i and 40% by MediaForEurope (MFE), controlled by the family of late media magnate and political figure Silvio Berlusconi. This move paves the way for a long-awaited tie-up between RaiWay and EI Towers, potentially creating a TV towers group valued at over €2 billion ($2.17 billion).
