At a fundamental level, the mobile telecom industry is built like a three-legged stool. One leg represents devices in the hands of users; the second leg is the command, control and integration functions that route and manage calls and provide billing services; and the third leg is a network of antennas and towers that provide connectivity over specific geographic areas. Mobilitie founder, 'president and CEO Gary Jabara, says the key to Mobilities business success–rocketing from zero three years ago to nearly $1 billion in enterprise value–is the company's effort to revolutionize the third leg through a unique combination of a traditional real estate investment model and a carrierfriendly operating structure. Mobilitie's business–owning and/or managing mobile telecom transmission facilities–helps carriers accelerate network deployment, reduce their capital expenditures, and enhance their key performance metrics. But Mobilitie's story of growth and innovation in one of the world's most competitive industries is also a direct result of carefully planned investments in IT.
