Hexatronic Group's Mpirical expands telecoms training in Africa

Aug 12, 2026

Hexatronic Group is excited to share that our training company, Mpirical, has signed a strategic partnership with Gcwensa Telecoms, a South African consulting engineering company working with network operators and vendors across the region. The partnership opens the South African and wider African markets to Mpirical's training portfolio and gives Gcwensa's customers access to structured skills development as the region's networks continue to expand.

"Partnering with Gcwensa allows us to support the engineers and technical teams building and optimizing networks across Africa. It's a region with enormous momentum, and this partnership means Gcwensa's customers can develop the skills they need alongside the engineering services they already trust."

Gcwensa Telecoms covers the full delivery chain, from network planning, performance, and optimization to drive testing, deployment of outdoor and DAS sites, maintenance, and IBS design. The company has built its reputation on technical delivery and on developing local talent. It operates across South Africa and Eswatini and has expanded its footprint into Europe.

What the partnership means for operators

Gcwensa Telecoms will now offer Mpirical's full suite of telecoms training programs to its clients, covering areas such as 5G, network optimization, and next-generation technologies. For operators and vendors in the region, that means one trusted partner for both network delivery and the professional development of the teams running those networks.

"At Gcwensa Telecoms, we help customers design, deploy, and optimize ICT solutions across Africa. Partnering with Mpirical complements our engineering expertise with globally recognized technical training, enabling organizations and professionals to develop the skills needed to build, operate, and maintain world-class communications networks. We are excited to bring Mpirical's industry-leading learning platform to Southern Africa and help develop the next generation of telecoms professionals," adds Mark Ketcher, Managing Director of Gcwensa Telecoms.

For Hexatronic Group, the collaboration supports our work toward sustainable digitalization worldwide. Building skills where networks are growing fast is a practical way of reaching our vision: A lasting link to the future.
