NEC XON, a privately owned company headquartered in South Africa, was founded in 1996 and employs approximately 460 individuals. Functioning as an African integrator of ICT solutions and part of the global Japanese firm NEC, the company has operated in Africa since 1963, specializing in IT services and IT consulting. It delivers communications, energy, safety, security, and digital solutions across 54 African countries, with a footprint in 16 and regional headquarters in South, East, and West Africa.

NEC Africa recently secured a US$75,000 contract with emerging ISP Savannah Uganda to expand 4G connectivity in Kampala and surrounding regions, deploying Juniper MX304 routing technology. On October 1, NEC XON began bringing intelligent smart-cart technology to South African retailers through an exclusive distribution partnership with Austrian software provider Shopreme and hardware specialist Hanshow. This solution combines self-scanning, computer vision, personalized customer engagement, and retail media in a single in-store platform. This connectivity win in Uganda followed NEC Africa's report on September 30 of its early-stage momentum in the country, marked by new ISP partnerships, active infrastructure deployments, and expanding enterprise cybersecurity opportunities. These opportunities stemmed from new regulatory requirements from the Bank of Uganda, which mandate that encryption systems and security infrastructure remain hosted within national borders; NEC Africa is engaging with Uganda’s enterprise and financial services sector regarding these requirements. Earlier, on September 29, NEC Africa identified Uganda as a strategic market where it had made inroads, highlighted by the addition of a promising new ISP customer.
