SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia, May 31, 2023/APO Group/ — 

Nexign takes part in GITEX Africa 2023 (https://GITEXAfrica.com/), the largest all-inclusive tech event in the region; The company presents its new suite of core network functions for converged charging, policy management, and signaling traffic routing in 5G SA mobile networks; New products are designed to support performance, flexibility, and reliability parameters required by Tier 1 and Tier 2 telcos; With these Nexign products, telecom operators can capitalize on the enhanced technical capabilities of 5G SA by launching innovative B2B and B2C services based on ultra-low latency, faster upload speeds, and guaranteed QoS for connected devices. 

Nexign (https://apo-opa.info/45QK3T9), a leading provider of BSS and digitalization solutions from St. Petersburg, Russia, participates in GITEX Africa 2023, the largest international information technology exhibition in the pan-African region. GITEX Africa 2023 takes place in Bab Jdid, Bd Al Yarmouk, Marrakech, Morocco, from May 31st to June 2nd. The event connects leading tech companies, governments, SMEs, start-ups, coders, investors, and educators. It aims to accelerate technological development and explore new and emerging technologies from fintech, e-commerce, cloud, IoT, AI, telecom, and cybersecurity.

During the exhibition, Nexign showcases its new product suite for monetization and efficient management of 5G SA (Standalone) networks. It includes Nexign 5G Charging System (CCS), Nexign 5G Policy Control Function (PCF), Nexign Service Communication Proxy (SCP), and Nexign Network Repository Function (NRF). The suite lets communications service providers (CSPs) support charging, policy management, and signaling traffic routing for 5G SA networks. All products are developed in accordance with international 3GPP and ETSI specifications and TM Forum recommendations.

Nexign’s solutions have been supporting various business scenarios for 5G NSA networks for several years

“According to GSMA Intelligence, 5G connections are expected to double and reach two billion by the end of 2025. We are witnessing a rapid adoption of 5G technologies across the world, a much faster one, as compared to the previous 3G and 4G generations. Nevertheless, the efficient use of 5G is possible only if CSPs optimize network infrastructure management costs and provide services across different network generations seamlessly and convergently. Besides, they should look for new ways to monetize complex business scenarios related to digital partner ecosystems, IoT, Industry 4.0, and B2B services. Nexign’s solutions have been supporting various business scenarios for 5G NSA networks for several years. Today we are pleased to announce the launch of a new product suite for monetizing next-generation 5G SA networks,” comments Sergey Sosin, Head of Product Management at Nexign.

Nexign CCS and Nexign PCF help CSPs quickly implement complex business scenarios and innovative services based on such 5G networks’ benefits as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). They contribute to the monetization of B2B services, including launch of mobile private networks (MPN), fixed wireless access (FWA), and the industrial internet of things (IIoT). The products also support the monetization of B2C services, such as VoNR, cloud gaming, and Ultra HD mobile streaming. Nexign CCS and Nexign PCF give CSPs complete and flexible control over quality of service parameters for customers and partners, including QoS management based on network slicing and service level agreements (SLAs). With these Nexign products, CSPs can use dynamic 5G SA network parameters to create differentiated services for customers with particular connectivity requirements.

In turn, Nexign SCP and Nexign NRF help simplify the topology and increase the transparency of large distributed 5G networks. They also allow CSPs to reduce the cost of maintaining and developing network infrastructure. Nexign SCP serves as a single point of control over message routing and load balancing across 5G core functions. The product optimizes the cost of the signaling network configuration and development thanks to the centralized configuration of nodes and consistent interaction of network components in a multivendor environment. At the same time, Nexign NRF acts as a 5G network function repository and provides centralized registration and discovery of different network function instances.

Nexign’s new product suite for monetization and efficient management of 5G networks offers scalability for dynamic business growth. It is suitable for Tier 1 CSPs thanks to high network availability and geo-redundancy of any network function. Products presented in the suite can be deployed in both private and public clouds.

At GITEX Africa 2023, the company will also showcase Nexign IoT Connectivity Platform and other solutions from its comprehensive BSS suite, including Nexign Revenue Management and Nexign Mediation.

Seychelles Targets Energy Investment Push as Minister Jérémie Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 as a Speaker

African Energy Chamber

Seychelles energy minister will speak at AEW 2026, positioning her to highlight reforms, renewable projects and investment opportunities as the island nation advances its transition toward a diversified energy system

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, April 29, 2026/APO Group/ –Marie-May Jérémie, Minister of Environment, Climate, Energy and Natural Resources for Seychelles will participate as a speaker at this year’s African Energy Week (AEW) 2026, taking place from October 12–16 in Cape Town. Her participation underscores the country’s growing role in shaping Africa’s small-island energy transition agenda.

Minister Jérémie’s presence at AEW 2026 comes at a critical time as Seychelles accelerates efforts to reduce its heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels. The event provides a platform to attract investment, strengthen policy alignment and showcase bankable projects, positioning the country as a viable destination for private-sector participation in island energy systems.

Seychelles is demonstrating how policy reform and innovation can unlock investment in constrained environments

In May last year, international finance institution the World Bank approved the Renewable Energy Acceleration Program, a seven-year initiative aimed at modernizing the grid and increasing renewable energy penetration to 15% by 2030. The program focuses on unlocking private capital while strengthening transmission infrastructure to accommodate variable renewable energy sources.

Project development is gaining traction in the country, particularly in innovative technologies suited to Seychelles’ land constraints. The 5.8 MW Seysun Lagoon floating solar PV project, developed by independent renewable power producer Qair, is under construction and expected online in 2026.

Alongside renewables, Seychelles continues to pursue upstream opportunities to diversify its economy. The government approved new exploration entrants in 2025 and extended exiting petroleum agreements, while securing an infrastructure partnership with China. Multilateral estimates suggest over $800 million in investment will be required over the next 25 years.

Regulatory reform is central to this transition, with Seychelles introducing an independent power producer framework to open the market to private developers. Standardized power purchase agreements, grid access reforms and strengthened public-private partnership structures are being implemented to improve transparency, reduce risk and accelerate project bankability across solar, storage and emerging wind opportunities.

“Minister Jérémie’s participation highlights the strategic importance of island nations in Africa’s broader energy transition,” says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber. “Seychelles is demonstrating how policy reform and innovation can unlock investment in constrained environments. Her insights will be critical to advancing dialogue on resilient, low-carbon energy systems across the continent.”
