As the leading telecommunications infrastructure provider company, EDOTCO works with various strategic partners and key stakeholders in #ShapingFutureConnectivity and #ConnectingTheUnconnected. We realize the importance of each key stakeholder and their pivotal role alongside Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in the expansion and enhancement of network infrastructure.

Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of any infrastructure project. At EDOTCO, we are not just working with commercial property owners or real estate developers; we are also working together with individual landowners across the regions to further accelerate digital connectivity.

Consistently engaging with selected landowners

Recently, the Network Operations team visited a total of 56 landowners across Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak. We selected landowners who celebrated Aidil Adha and located on the outskirts of the cities.

During the visit, they received a hamper as a token of appreciation from EDOTCO to the landowners. Both parties were also participating in a fruitful and engaging discussion about the partnership.

EDOTCO is consistently engaging with the landowners to maintain strong relationships. Leasing land for telecommunications towers is not just a transactional arrangement; it is a partnership that demands trust, transparency, and mutual benefits.

There are numerous advantages behind EDOTCO’s constant engagement with both parties. If you are considering leasing your land to us, these advantages will help you to make an informed decision.

Facilitating smooth discussions and negotiations

EDOTCO is consistently engaging landowners for a better working relationship. With both parties feeling respected and valued, it is more likely they will cooperate and provide necessary help without prolonged discussions. A positive relationship reduces the risk of disagreements, enabling smoother operations in handling and managing tower sites.

Ensuring long-term site stability

Telecommunication towers represent a long-term investment, often requiring leases for over a decade. A strong partnership ensures the stability and security of these locations. It also mitigates any potential risk, thereby protecting the company’s assets and investments.

Enhancing community relations

The partnership between EDOTCO and landowners is beneficial for both parties. By building a strong relationship with them, telecommunications companies can foster broader community support, and landowners will be more influential in their local community. It also helps to alleviate concerns and opposition from other community members, smoothing the path for future projects and mutual wins.

Encouraging transparency and trust

Transparency in this partnership builds trust, which is fundamental for any long-term partnership. Clear communication about project benefits, potential impacts, and the steps taken to mitigate negative effects helps establish a positive rapport. Trustworthy relationships also encourage both parties to exchange valuable local insights that can aid in project planning and execution.

Promoting mutual benefits

A strong relationship underscores the mutual benefits of the lease arrangement. For landowners, leasing their land provides a steady income stream and potentially improved infrastructure in their vicinity. For telecommunications companies, it means reliable access to strategic locations. Fostering these reciprocal benefits creates a win-win situation that both sides are committed to continuing.

How does EDOTCO work with landowners?

Landowners who are interested in leasing or selling their land can allow us to create tower sites according to the customer's specifications and needs. It refers to mobile network operators (MNOs), commercial property owners, and real estate developers.

Given the significance of landowners’ roles, EDOTCO always welcomes property owners to be part of its extended family in our journey towards better connectivity for the nations. If you are interested, you may submit your application here.
