The Competition Commission of South Africa has approved, without conditions, a merger between two prominent network infrastructure companies, both listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Acquiring Firm, which controls Hewlett-Packard South Africa Proprietary Limited (HPSA), and the Target Firm, which controls Juniper Networks International BV, are both based in the USA and hold a significant presence in the network infrastructure sector. Both companies offer services related to edge networking, wide area networking (WAN), cloud/data centre networking, and wireless technologies.

The Commission concluded that the merger would not negatively impact market competition or public interests in South Africa. With this approval, the combined firms are poised to strengthen their offerings in networking solutions such as campus switches, WLAN, SD-WAN, and enterprise data centre switches, driving innovation in the sector.
