Powering progress with a future-ready network

A leading African power utility needed to modernize its aging SDH-based infrastructure to meet growing energy demands and ensure reliability ahead of a major global event. Outdated systems, limited security, and vendor support challenges were slowing progress and increasing risk.

Partnering with Belden, the utility implemented the XTran platform—a scalable, carrier-grade networking solution that unified operations, increased bandwidth, and enhanced grid reliability and security. By consolidating protection, SCADA, access control, and communication systems onto a single platform, the company reduced complexity, improved uptime, and built a foundation for continued expansion.

With Belden’s end-to-end connectivity, synchronization accuracy, and expert support, the utility now operates with greater stability, visibility, and readiness to power the future.
