SITA certification opens new opportunities for Cradlepoint in South Africa’s public sector

Johannesburg, South Africa – 02 August 2024 
Axiz today announced that Cradlepoint – part of Ericsson – a global leader in cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge solutions, has achieved certification from the State Information Technology Agency (SITA). This significant milestone enables it to extend its connectivity solutions to South Africa’s public sector for the first time.

The company has been successfully providing connectivity solutions to public sector services in other countries. This includes delivering benefits such as enhancing communication and coordination for emergency and police services, supporting public transport systems with secure and continuous connectivity, facilitating smart city initiatives through IoT applications in public infrastructure, and supporting temporary or mobile government services like pop-up medical facilities and disaster response units.

As governments work to enhance public service delivery through digital transformation, this certification supports efforts to use digital technologies to boost efficiency, drive innovation, and improve access to services for citizens.

“The SITA certification is a significant milestone for Axiz and Cradlepoint. This opens new opportunities to support the South African government’s digital transformation efforts with our connectivity solutions,” said Adeshni Rohit, Executive at Axiz.

She added that Axiz was pleased to bring the same level of innovation and reliability to the South African public sector that Cradlepoint has delivered to other governments around the world.

Axiz is Africa’s largest technology solutions distributor and sole distributor of Cradlepoint solutions in the country. The partnership brings new opportunities for digital innovation in both the public and private sectors.
