Nokia and Reflex expand broadband reach and quality across South Africa

Nokia today announced that Reflex will deploy Nokia’s cutting-edge Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) solution to modernize and scale their network, enabling faster onboarding of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and delivering a better broadband experience for South African businesses and communities. Reflex will benefit from more efficient use of space and power, while ensuring their network is future-ready for continued expansion across the country.

South Africa faces a growing demand for high-speed broadband services, driven by digital transformation in both urban and rural areas. However, underserved regions remain a significant challenge. By replacing its current BNGs with Nokia’s scalable solution, Reflex is positioned to bridge the digital divide, empowering more ISPs to reach communities nationwide. According to research, expanding broadband access could significantly enhance the African economy, emphasizing the importance of investments like these. Nokia’s solution directly addresses the challenges of network scalability, efficiency, and environmental impact, enabling Reflex to support South Africa’s evolving connectivity needs sustainably.
