SVP's business plan from day one has been to design, build, own and operate critical utility-like wireless infrastructure.

And this transaction highlights one of the key benefits of achieving scale in the IBW sector," said Marc H. Blair, COO and Senior Managing Director of Tiger Infrastructure Partners ("Tiger"). 

Tiger owns a controlling stake in SVP, and Brookfield Asset Management, one of the largest owners and operators of infrastructure globally, recently became a minority equity investor in the Company.
