Nedbank Golf Challenge powered by One80

One80 designed, delivered and optimised a course‑wide wireless solution, built on HPE Aruba Networking, for the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

At the iconic Nedbank Golf Challenge(NGC), precision has always defined the experience from how the greens are prepared to the strategy behind every hole. Now, that same level of excellence extends to something just as important to today's guests and players: fast, reliable, everywhere WiFi.

Working in close partnership with NGC, One80 has designed, delivered and optimised a full course‑wide wireless solution, built on HPE Aruba Networking. From the clubhouse and hospitality suites, to practice facilities and every fairway and green, One80 has transformed NGC into a truly connected golf destination where guests, players, media and staff could move freely without sacrificing signal, speed, or security.

Like many prestigious venues, NGC's legacy network was never built for today's always online world. Guests wanted to stream and share their experience in real-time.

One80 stepped in as the end‑to‑end delivery partner, responsible for:

The result was a robust, high‑performance wireless environment that delivered strong coverage from the moment guests arrived at NGC until they walked off the 18th green.

Engineered and implemented by One80, the new network is built to give every user a premium experience:

For guests, this meant an easy digital check‑in, smooth mobile payments, clear video calls, and effortless social sharing whether they were relaxing in hospitality areas or travelling between holes. For players, it delivered uninterrupted access to caddie apps, swing analysis tools and live scoring platforms that enhanced practice, performance and competition.
