Transforming connectivity for a sustainable future
By Igor Leprince, Group Chief Executive Officer
This blog is a letter written by our Group CEO Igor Leprince for our 2025 Sustainability report.
As we enter our third year as Boldyn Networks, our purpose to unlock the power of an interconnected future is stronger than ever. This past year, we achieved remarkable global growth, expanding fast and connecting over one billion people. Yet, no matter how large we become, our purpose reminds us of our responsibility as an industry leader to ensure we design, build, deploy and manage our networks and services in a sustainable way.
I’m deeply grateful to our investors, our Board, our customers, suppliers and employees for making Boldyn their connectivity partner of choice across three continents. Together with new partners like the Major League Soccer where we serve as their official venue DAS provider, ASM Global, supporting hundreds of their entertainment properties, the US Military, or the more than 350 colleges we serve from our Higher Education business, and through our work with transit systems, our focus is on bringing inclusive cutting-edge connectivity to the places where people live, work and play.
Thanks to the ongoing support of our shareholders, this year we successfully acquired one more company in Germany, Smart Mobile Labs (SML), solidifying our presence in Europe’s five largest economies and accelerating our journey towards global leadership in mobile private networks.
We also continued to invest in our multi-year partnerships around the biggest, most complex network infrastructures to support more communities under our four strategic pillars: Connected Transport, Connected Cities, Connected Venues and Industries, Connected Campus and Bases. Our Boldyn teams proudly delivered incredible projects that are transforming lives. From advanced 5G and fibre connectivity in the smart cities of Sunderland, London, Rome, NYC, and San Francisco to the 100 live stations and tunnels in the London Underground, incredible AR use cases at Oulu Hospital in Finland or
the 5G campus networks for the largest railway company in the world, German Deutsche Bahn. In our commitment to building sustainable networks, last year we commissioned a comprehensive study that reaffirmed the transformative potential of neutral host networks- proving them to be 38% greener and up to 47% more cost-effective than traditional standalone 5G deployments. These findings support our belief that shared networks infrastructure is the key to unlocking affordable, scalable and sustainable connectivity for reimagined communities. I expect this report will provide you with a comprehensive picture of how we achieve this. Boldyn is leading the global shift towards more efficient and environmentally friendly network infrastructure, helping shape a future where connectivity empowers people, businesses, and entire communities – without compromising our planet.
