Mauritius Telecom Tower, Telecommunications tower in Port Louis, Mauritius
Mauritius Telecom Tower is a 19-storey skyscraper in Port Louis and the second tallest building in Mauritius. It rises 88 metres, or 101 metres measured to the tips of its two lightning rods, and houses the headquarters of Mauritius Telecom.
The tower was completed in 1988 as the headquarters of Mauritius Telecom, the national telecommunications provider. Its 19 storeys made it the second tallest building in Mauritius, a position it still holds. The structure rises 88 metres, or 101 metres to the tips of its two lightning rods.
The tower carries the name of Mauritius Telecom, the state-linked operator whose headquarters it houses, so the building is tied to the company that runs much of the island's telephone and internet networks. Its two lightning rods push the structure to 101 m, while the roof itself sits at 88 m.
The tower is located in the heart of Port Louis, easily accessible from the city's main streets and business centers. Keep in mind that this is primarily a working telecommunications facility and public access may be limited.
The building houses advanced broadcasting equipment at its summit that sends signals across the entire island. This technology ensures that people throughout Mauritius stay connected no matter where they are.
