African Applied Chemical (Pty) Ltd is a bio-technology company that specialises in the manufacture of a proprietary slow release fibres (Bi-KoTM). These fibres are made mainly from polypropylene copolymer. The fibres are specially engineered to store a high amount of liquid within their matrix and slowly release small amounts over a long period of time.

This technology is aimed at slowly releasing high value actives in order to prolong their residual effectiveness and reduce the overall cost of their use in practical applications. 

Button Optics is a low-cost all in one laser diagnostic device that can measure various laser characteristics from a single measurement, which can also work in reverse as a structured light creation device.

It is a technology spin-out company from the Structured Light Lab. Their mission is to commercialize ground-breaking and exciting research, produce high-tech solutions for a variety of applications and stimulate the local industry through international competitiveness.

Defence Cluster's Passive Radar for Air Traffic Control is a class of radar that makes use of third-party illuminators. For example, public broadcasting services such as frequency modulation radio, to illuminate an aircraft(s) of interest and subsequently locate and track these aircrafts by processing the signals reflected from the aircraft.

Given the absence of a dedicated transmitter subsystem in passive radar systems, it serves as a cost-effective radar solution that requires no spectrum licensing, consumes significantly less power, requires minimal equipment and has reduced maintenance.

FibrePoynt technology uses passive beam forming, beam pattern diversity and beam shaping to get the best possible signal to the home units which then provides Wi-Fi for the end user devices to connect to. The technology promises a cost effective, faster-rollout, and high-speed alternative deployment of broadband infrastructure in areas that were previously deemed unfeasible.

FibrePoynt is proudly part of Poynting Antennas – the South African company that is one of the world’s leading innovators of antenna products.
