 Across Africa’s ports, mines and energy corridors, the race to modernise operations is being slowed by one persistent obstacle: unreliable connectivity. NEC XON’s new high-performance outdoor wireless solution aims to change that, combining satellite, wireless backhaul (point-to-multipoint wireless and point to point) and long-range Wi-Fi in a seamless, resilient network designed for industries where downtime is not an option.
 By Tinashe Machona, Cyber Architect at NEC XON As organisations accelerate their adoption of cloud and IoT technologies, attackers are finding fresh vulnerabilities hidden within these interconnected environments - often powered by AI.
When they hear “IT security” many enterprises still think about firewalls, patching, multi-factor authentication and data encryption. But Cyber and Cloud Resilience is about ensuring that when - not if - a breach happens, the business can withstand the impact, recover quickly and adapt effectively.  Johannesburg, South Africa - November 2025 - NEC XON has successfully commissioned two commercial-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems in Gauteng for the Alcap Group, a significant step in its journey toward energy security, lowering operating costs and environmental sustainability.
 Delivering Audited, Enterprise-Grade Managed Services at Continental Scale Following independent validation of multi-country delivery, 24×7 NOC/SOC, and managed-service excellence - backed by proven references across Sub-Saharan Africa - NEC XON has earned both Cisco Gold Integrator and multinational Gold integrator in Middle East Africa. The recognitions confirm its ability to deliver enterprise-grade managed services at scale across Africa and the Middle East. The status results from NEC XON’s Cisco Gold journey which started in 2021 and overall NEC commitment to Cisco partnership, investing in certified resources and infrastructure to design, build, and operate complex Cisco architectures.
