Willem Wentzel, networking business development manager at NEC XON, says NEC’s ongoing global technology development since 1899 provides it with the resources to sustain a top portfolio of both indoor and outdoor equipment that is among the best in the industry sought after by African customers familiar with its heritage.

NEC has been at the forefront of the development of microwave technology worldwide. As a result, we were the first in Africa to go from analogue to digital and the first to move from PDH to SDH, the new standard for synchronised network gear.

NEC XON is NEC’s systems integrator across Africa with the knowledge and skills and the equity partnership from NEC that delivers the global best-of-breed technologies at the forefront of the industry.

NEC XON today has the lowest latency microwave equipment on the market. That’s important for a future filled with the high speed promise of LTE and 5G. Equipment with higher latencies is effective for only a hop or maybe two but after that it doesn’t synchronise with the linear timecode (LTC) anymore.

NEC technology installed at Ethio Telecom in Ethiopia in 1962 is still operational. We have supplied operators in 53 of 54 African countries. NEC has supplied more than 3,1 million transmitter and receivers of microwave and millimetre-wave radio in 166 countries worldwide.

Growing LTE and 5G adoption means mobile service providers must rapidly deploy high-speed, flexible, scalable, and reliable backhaul networks for the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) while optimising performance. Only eld-proven wireless backhaul solutions from NEC have reliably served the African market since 1962.

“We’ve tested the NEC microwave equipment in an operational environment in South Africa that was still synchronising after 11 hops. We only stopped at 11 because we ran out o f count ry,” says Wi l l em Wentze l , network ing bus iness development manager at NEC XON.

“We have the longest mean time before fai lure in the world, calculated to be 154 years. Our

Wentzel says NEC XON’s microwave solutions support frequencies from 4,5GHz to 0GHz and, “…we can currently push 20Gbps on the 80GHz radios. That’s double the throughput of our nearest rival who can only do 10Gbps. In addition, our equipment is still easy to install, east to maintain, and easy to us.”e

NEC XON is the gateway to Africa’s tried and tested reliance on NEC microwave gears

In addition, both microwave and millimetre-wave solutions can be deployed simultaneously to enhance link availability. Higher capacity solutions rely on millimetre-wave solutions for the primary link and, if the weather closes in, microwave, which is more immune to poor weather, can take over the link.

Short range, high capacity E-band radios are suited to large, dense deployments, a unique characteristic that perfectly matches security and disaster control situations, which makes them key social infrastructure.

A unique feature of NEC XON’s equipment from NEC is the upward and backward compatibility designed into it.

“The two main types of equipment, the split type and the zero footprint type, are generally not compatible in that the type that receives must match the type that transmits,” says Wentzel. “That’s not the case for us. We can transmit from a zero footprint setup and receive on a split type setup, or vice versa, and can still aggregate up to 12 directions at a nodal site. Another benefit of this arrangement is that you can use the same software you always used to monitor your environment.”

“We are currently installing a critical solution for a major government customer in South Africa and we have implemented critical solutions for a number of Africa’s biggest carriers, such as Bharti Airtel, we supplied MTN for more than a decade, Zambia Telecommunications, and many others.

NEC XON provides the advanced systems integration African businesses need, along with the world’s top NEC technologies that are field-tested in African environments, for highly dependable and intelligent, converged solutions that meet the current and future needs of carriers across the continent.”

Additionally, it is essential to manage a mix of heterogeneous network devices for 5G environments. NEC XON supplies, supports, and maintains NEC’s NMS platform that streamlines network design, operation, and management. It intelligently uses available network resources. It enables traffic load balancing across multiple paths. It self-heals after links or nodes go down.

“Our platform can also perform exceptionally high frequency modulations, which means it is very efficient, and the new models we launched contain layer 3 capabilities so you don’t need routers to get layer 3 functionality anymore.”

failure rate is the lowest in the industry and that includes equipment that’s been incorrectly configured by third-party personnel.

We have the capability to be more secure, safer, to narrow the inequality gap, to produce more with less, and to create even better qualities of life for all our people. Our technology solutions harness the collective know-how of generations from the most advanced global institutions to advance the frontiers of humanity.

Yet, even as we pursue relentless innovation that focuses on the macro global trends insistently dominating our activities, we cannot ignore the individual people. Individuals, by our million, make the difference to our success or failure as a species, as nations, cities, towns, neighbourhoods, families, and ourselves. We help one, we help many, and in helping many we help ourselves.

A mobile communication tower can be an asset written off over five years or it can be the agent of change that rewrites the futures of a village full of people – for generations.

We are fortunate to be at the heart of how technology is driving change in society across Africa. Our organisations are empowered today as never before by the global collaboration that unites best-of-breed technologies with our local knowledge and experience. Together we are pooling our skills to innovate new solutions to the most urgent challenges our continent faces.

In 1994 a young boy spent hours in his mother's kitchen in Mthatha mixing chemicals in an attempt to create a new type of rocket fuel. He eventually won gold at the National Science Expo, was then invited to Sweden where he showed his project to the king and queen and attended the Nobel Prize ceremony. He went on to the US where he won more awards at an international fair and the Lincoln Laboratory, a NASA affiliate, named a minor planet after the boy. Siyabulela Xuza, since a Harvard University graduate of energy-engineering, has gone on to greater achievements.

Future generations deserve their “Siya” moments, empowered to reach their potential in societies that are safe, secure, offer equal opportunities, and which provide robust opportunities for their own futures.

updating their defences against cyber crime to keep up with the constantly evolving nature of attackers.

Compounding the issue, is that too many IT departments are making do with half-measures when it comes to protecting their IT environments. Malware has evolved alongside computing, from the days where fresh-faced hackers wrote proof-of-concept worms and viruses in their basements, to today’s large underground cyber crime organisations that sell malicious tools on the dark Web, and offer customer support alongside them.

In addition, threat actors are nothing if not pragmatic, they use what works, and update their tools and tricks to slip through any security net. To get a foothold on the company network, they will mix and match, changing their tactics should they be blocked on any level. They will use a combination of adware, spyware, keyloggers, viruses, rootkits, spear phishing, APTs, DDoS - anything that helps them achieve their ends. And this proves one thing - there is no ‘silver bullet’ when it comes to cyber security.

This is why a holistic, multi-layered approach to cyber security works best. A business cannot prevent blended attacks by blocking every possible channel a cyber criminal might employ, without completely shutting themselves off from the rest of the world. And single

There are no tools that prevent people from being people, and clicking on suspicious links, or falling for cunning social engineering schemes.
