Nokia Siemens ni main contractor wa Vodacom, hawana mnara hata mmoja, lakini mimi ninachoona hapa kuna vitu kama vitatu, cha kwanza ni hiyo minara kwa maana ya yale mavyuma yaliyosimama, cha pili kuna vifaa vya umeme(generator, battery, rectifier, hybrid systems) na cha tatu ni mitambo yenyewe ya mawasiliano kwa maana ya vifaa vya transmission na radio equipment (BTS na BSC).

Sasa hapa swali ni je Helios Towers wananunua nini? Ni hizo tower tu kama kampuni yao ilivyo au watachukua na hivyo vifaa vingine?

wananunua towers pamoja na equipments zake i.e Rectifier; BTS, antennas , generators, etc kisha wao wanauza service kwa vodacom..... Wanachokifanya kwenye location yenye minara ya voda na tigo basi wanaondoa mmoja kisha unaobaki wanafunga equipments za makampuni yote (share)... hii inapynguza gharama za uendeshaji kwao na wanauza service at a cheap price kulinganisha na iwapo kampuni ya simu itaendesha yenyewe mnara.....
