NWK, South Africas 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.
