Company Overview

American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) is a real estate investment trust that owns, operates and develops wireless communications infrastructure. Its portfolio primarily includes communications towers, rooftop sites, distributed antenna systems and other infrastructure used by wireless carriers, broadcasters, governments and businesses to support voice, data and video communications.

The company leases space on its sites to multiple customers, allowing them to install antennas and related equipment without building and maintaining individual tower locations. American Tower also provides infrastructure services, including the development and management of communications sites and, in select markets, data center and fiber-related solutions.

Founded in 1995 and publicly listed since 1998, American Tower has expanded from a U.S.-focused tower operator into an international communications infrastructure company. It serves customers across the United States and in select markets in Latin America, Europe and Africa. Steve Vondran serves as the company’s president and chief executive officer.
