Polish tower operator Emitel has acquired a 2MW data center located just outside Warsaw. The Cordiant-owned company is entering the data center market with plans to offer colocation, cloud computing, and data processing services. The facility is reportedly built to Tier III standards and has potential for further expansion.
However, details regarding the exact site, the seller, and the transaction terms were not disclosed. Emitel said its new data center services will target broadcasters expanding multimedia offerings, as well as enterprises across multiple industries, along with financial and public sector organizations.
“Entering the data center market is a natural evolution for Emitel and another step in delivering our strategy of becoming one of the leaders of Poland’s digital transformation,” said Maciej Pilipczuk, Emitel CEO. “Our facility is a state-of-the-art data center located in a highly convenient and accessible location, particularly for customers operating within the Warsaw metropolitan area. We provide best-in-class services, ensuring security, reliability and scalability. This development also reflects the rapid growth of technologies such as artificial intelligence, which require ever-greater computing power and advanced infrastructure.”
Emitel was formed in 2002 through the consolidation of state-owned radio communication and broadcasting infrastructure assets in Poland. Today, the company operates more than 700 towers and masts across the country, along with a fiber optic network, 1,175 microwave links, distributed antenna systems, and a nationwide IoT network comprising over 68,000 sensors. Cordiant Digital Infrastructure, a UK-based digital infrastructure investor, has owned Emitel since 2022, following its acquisition from US investment firm Astatine Investment Partners.
