Bangalore: Reliance Telecom Infrastructure (RTIL), a subsidiary of Reliance Communications, will soon launch a website that will help as a medium to link site owners with the company, said Reliance executives to livemint. Telecom tower companies require tower sites to set up either ground-based towers or rooftops towers in private or commercial buildings. The owners of land, apartments, houses or commercial buildings lease out space for towers to tower companies for between eight and 10 years. RTIL’s website, www.btssite.relianceada.com will be the first of its kind in the world, claim the executives. It will be launched in a few days, they add. Through its site, RTIL aims to reach out directly to individuals and companies that own land or buildings where towers can be installed, usually tower companies approach site owners directly or through middlemen, including property dealers. Through this site interested owners can log on and can sumbit details of their property.The company will then evaluates the site and sees how it fits its infrastructure requirements. According to Reliance executives the new approach will benefit both the parties. In addition, the site will have a list of locations where RTIL is interested in setting up towers.
