Strategic Agreement Signed at Cairo ICT to Drive Digital Transformation

Cairo International Technology Exhibition and Conference (Cairo ICT) witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between Benya Towers—a subsidiary of Benya Group specializing in shared towers and telecom infrastructure—and fintech company Basata. The partnership aims to fully digitalize the recharging process for prepaid electricity meters serving telecom stations.

Operational Mechanism via POS Devices and Digital Platforms

Under the partnership, Basata will provide point-of-sale (POS) terminals and its digital platform—available in both Arabic and English—to Benya Towers' field teams. This enables cash-free transactions and replaces paper processes with a unified central database that logs meter details, location, recharge amount, date, and assigned representative in real time.

Control and Field Oversight

The system provides Benya Towers with administrative access to add or update site and meter data, generate performance reports, and assign specific balances and permissions to field reps, ensuring transparency and maximum financial oversight.

Executive Statements

Eng. Ayman Wehdan (CEO of Benya Towers): Noted that the partnership marks a major milestone in automating energy cost management across the company's extensive shared tower network, enhancing resource efficiency and operational sustainability.

Mr. Mohamed El-Amawy (Managing Director & Chief Commercial Officer at Basata): Highlighted that Basata's operational experience since 2009 underpins its B2B expansion strategy, relying on its proven track record in managing telecom station networks to deliver an instant, reliable digital environment.

Expanded Operational Capacity in the Egyptian Market

Basata leverages an infrastructure supporting over 8,500 telecom tower sites and serving more than 25 million residential meters. This ensures uninterrupted power to stations, minimizes outage risks, and supports national efforts toward financial inclusion and a less cash-dependent society.
