ABOUT US:

ConvergEX Technologies is an aggregator of best of breed technologies in the Wireless Networks environment and provides our customers with full turnkey solutions to deploy these advanced wireless networks. We access world class products, systems and hardware in User terminals, Access Network, Core Networks and Applications. ConvergEX Technologies also provides the managed services capability and capacity to effectively integrate and deploy these advance Wireless Networks.

Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, ConvergEX has built its relationship base over the whole of the continent of Africa, and extending influence to draw on capabilities from leading edge environments across the globe. The founders of ConvergEX Technologies experience base emanates from the stables of many of the top global telecommunications vendors coupled with the understanding of Emerging Market realities.

Our unique blend of industry experience, proven commercial experience and end-to-end technical architecture based on collaborative thinking allows our customers to deploy highly effective and economical networks.
 

Strong relationships across Africa, Middle East, Silicon Valley and Far Eastern ODM’s

ConvergEX Technologies has invested significantly in building relationships over time and has extensive experience with network deployments across Africa and the Middle East. With nurtured local and regional relationships we aggregate turnkey solutions in specialist areas that are afforded to our customers in the region. We have also spent considerable time investing in relationships at the source of technology development in the Far East and in Silicon Valley, California that allow us to leverage off latest trends and developments in the deployment of relevant solutions. Through the aggregation of volume and technology demands of emerging markets, our partners in hardware and software supply rely on ConvergEX to support their deployments of their technologies locally and regionally.
Exclusive Distribution rights to vastly superior WiMAX Base Station Technologies and Customer Premises Equipment

With the OEM and ODM’s preoccupation with first world deployments, coupled with a pragmatic view of capitalising on opportunities in Emerging Markets like Africa, vendors realise the value of having local knowledge through their support of a local partners like ConvergEX. To that end, we have secured exclusive distribution rights to vastly superior and open standard platforms that allow our customers to gain the value of leading technology that conforms to WiMAX forum standards.

Access to wide range of Wireless Hardware Technologies

The WiMAX forum standards mentioned above allow customers to procure from multi vendor sources and avoid lock in by single vendor solutions. ConvergEX Technologies has sourced best of breed solutions in specialist areas that collaborative interoperate to conform to these standards. This allows for multivendor relationships to exist and to technically capitalise on divisible technologies that make longer term commercial sense. These best of breed solutions exist across all facets of the broadband wireless ecosystem.

First mover access to leading chipset manufacturers for CPE terminals

Since the arguable majority of the network spend resides within the procurement and deployment of Customer Premises Equipment, ConvergEX Technologies has adopted a strategy to partner with third party Original Design Manufacturers and co-develop solutions that interoperate synergistically with technologies in the Wireless ecosystem and the environment in which they operate in. We firmly believe that Africa has a set of practical nuances that must be made relevant to the technology that is deployed. With the proportionate significance of the CPE in the networks we deploy, we have secured proprietary relationships and technology that emanate directly from the source of the technologies in the chipsets, all the way to the finished product ready for deployment in commercial and private networks. We have proven commercial experience in this regard that allows our customers to be less reliant on a single vendor for network components.
First mover advantage in superior Core/Access Network software solutions

Within the heartbeat of Wireless Technologies lies the demand for robust and scalable architecture in managing commercially relevant services to our customer’s subscribers. Once again, open based architecture allows for the construction of best of breed systems to be deployed. ConvergEX has partnered with experienced Core and Access Network providers to give scalable and affordable solutions for management of systems and processes that need to integrate with the radio/air interface. We have leading edge solutions for billing, AAA, network management, subscriber services amongst other network requirements for next generation service provision.

Pay-as-you grow solutions providing affordability for small deployments

ConvergEX realises the requirement for smaller deployments in high growth environments where capital expenditure is relatively constrained compared to first world or tier one type deployments. These requirements are serviced by scalable architectures that allow for green field operations to grow with technology.

Experience in turnkey solution provision in Carrier Class Networks in different environments

In many cases, mature or large scale Greenfield networks require more sophisticated systems that will cater for larger subscriber bases. In these deployments, ConvergEX Technologies has partnered with vendors with experience in providing tier one type solutions to effectively manage the requirements of larger scale deployments. Through previous experience with large scale carrier class deployments, and the ability to leverage outsourced and partnered infrastructure, ConvergEX Technologies can provide solutions to meet the needs of these Carrier Class networks.
Scalable infrastructure not constrained to conventional models

Headquartered in South Africa, but serving the entire continent of Africa, ConvergEX Technologies has strategically engineered a scalable infrastructure through the aggregation of partnered relationships which integrate the components of the broadband wireless ecosystem. This allows us to have scalable infrastructure to meet the discerning requirements of our customers over a significant territory. Furthermore, it allows our customers to draw on the experience of specialist experience in broad environments with access to first class technologies.
