NEC Africa and PowerX have announced a strategic partnership to deliver intelligent remote management system (RMS) and energy efficiency solutions for large, distributed telecommunications networks across Africa. The partnership combines NEC’s proven track record of large-scale ICT delivery across Africa with PowerX’s market-leading machine learning and AI analytics platform. The result is a single, accountable technology partner able to proactively manage the full cell site infrastructure lifecycle – from design and deployment through to ongoing operations and optimisation.
Says Chris Duvenage, Business Unit Manager: Digital, NEC XON: “We’ve spent the last two years evaluating platforms that could genuinely meet the needs of Africa’s telecommunications operators. What impressed us about PowerX is that it goes well beyond power monitoring. It combines AI-driven predictive analytics, asset lifecycle optimisation, proactive maintenance and remote operational control into a single platform that enables NEC Africa to deliver a far more intelligent, end-to-end solution. Together, we will help operators reduce costs, improve network resilience and gain the visibility they need to manage critical infrastructure at scale across Africa.”
