NWK, South Africa’s oldest agricultural company, known for its extensive retail network mainly in the North West province of South Africa, has teamed up with BCX and Q-KON to revolutionise its communication capabilities.
In a strategic move aimed at bolstering operational efficiency, NWK launched a proof-of-concept testing site at its head office in Lichtenburg.
The initiative stems from NWK's need for reliable, high-speed communication solutions to support critical operations across its retail stores. Following rigorous testing and validation, the OneWeb LEO satellite service was approved and expanded to three additional locations: NWK Retail Petit, NWK Retail Mareetsane and NWK Retail Grootpan.
The expansion addresses NWK's challenges with infrastructure reliability by ensuring fast and low-latency access links essential for seamless card transactions and connectivity to back-office systems.
"Our collaboration with NWK and Q-KON highlights our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower businesses," said Louis van Wyk, managing executive: connectivity at BCX.
