Wireless Infrastructure Group (WIG) is one of the UK's leading independent wireless infrastructure companies. WIG builds, owns, and operates telecoms towers and infrastructure on behalf of mobile network operators. If WIG holds a lease on your land, you need specialist independent advice.

As an infrastructure company rather than a network operator, WIG hosts multiple mobile networks on its masts. This can create particular considerations around consideration, upgrade rights, and the structure of lease agreements.

We act exclusively for UK landlords in negotiations with Wireless Infrastructure Group, bringing 30+ years of experience and a comprehensive database of WIG and independent infrastructure company comparable deals.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wireless Infrastructure Group (WIG) Phone Mast Leases

WIG (Wireless Infrastructure Group) is an independent wireless infrastructure company that builds, owns, and manages telecoms mast infrastructure on behalf of mobile network operators across the UK. Unlike Vodafone or EE, WIG does not operate a consumer mobile network — it provides the physical infrastructure that operators use to deliver their services.
WIG, as a Code operator within the meaning of the Electronic Communications Code, has the same rights as mobile network operators to seek rents assessed under the 'no-scheme' valuation model. Specialist independent advice is essential to challenge below-market proposals from WIG.
The sharing of your site by multiple mobile operators via a WIG mast is a relevant factor in negotiations. Whilst the ECC 'no-scheme' valuation model limits certain arguments, the fact of multi-operator use may support arguments for improved consideration. We assess your specific situation.
Do not agree to anything before taking specialist advice. New letting negotiations with WIG require careful assessment of proposed rent, lease terms, upgrade rights, access provisions, and potential future operator changes. We offer a free initial consultation to assess any proposal.
No. WIG (Wireless Infrastructure Group) is a separate and independent company from Cellnex, On Tower (formerly Arqiva mobile division), and CTIL/Cornerstone. Each is a distinct legal entity with different ownership and infrastructure portfolios.
Rents for WIG-managed mast sites vary by location, site type, and the number of operators using the infrastructure. As a neutral host, WIG may accommodate multiple networks on a single site. We have comparable evidence from WIG negotiations and can assess what your site should be achieving.
WIG will contact you about renewing or extending your lease, typically proposing Code terms. As with all operators, WIG can apply to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) if agreement is not reached. We recommend engaging specialist representation before responding to any WIG renewal proposal.
Do not agree to anything or respond substantively before taking specialist advice. WIG's commercial team is experienced in securing operator-favourable terms. We offer a free initial consultation and will advise on the best approach. Call 01691 791543.
WIG, as a Code operator, has the same rights as mobile network operators to seek 'no-scheme' valuations and new Code agreements. The ECC framework applies fully to WIG leases. Pre-2017 leases may benefit from LTA 1954 protections. We assess your specific position and advise accordingly.
WIG leases often include broad multi-operator hosting rights, upgrade provisions, and access terms. As an independent infrastructure company, WIG may seek more flexibility than a single network operator would. Any rent review mechanism should be carefully scrutinised. We review all proposed terms and negotiate to protect your position.
