NEC XON has partnered with Mimosa Networks to strengthen wireless broadband infrastructure across Africa, targeting faster and more affordable connectivity in underserved and hard-to-reach areas. The collaboration combines NEC XON’s infrastructure expertise with Mimosa’s wireless networking technology to improve internet access for enterprises, telecom operators, and communities.
The partnership focuses on high-capacity wireless solutions designed to extend broadband coverage where fibre deployment remains expensive or impractical. By leveraging fixed wireless technology, the companies aim to help close connectivity gaps while supporting Africa’s growing demand for digital services, remote work, online education, and cloud adoption.
For Africa’s tech ecosystem, the move highlights the increasing importance of hybrid connectivity strategies. While fibre remains critical, wireless broadband is becoming a faster and more scalable option for expanding internet access across rural and semi-urban regions.
As digital transformation accelerates across the continent, infrastructure partnerships like this are positioning wireless technology as a key pillar in Africa’s next phase of connectivity growth.
