Connecting Communities Zenzeleni is a solar-powered, community-owned Wifi telecommunications network solution providing affordable communications to remote rural areas. Through the use of wireless mesh networking, users are able to make free internal voice-over IP calls, while the cost of breakout

The technology relates to a new generation of telecommunications and data processing technology with improved wavelength sensitivity in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths range rather than microwave communication in 2–4 GHz. The technology provides the realisation of optical sources (LEDs)

A mobile application to facilitate the efficient delivery of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) which are dependent on a multi-embedded supply chain coordination for the distribution of malaria drugs. The distribution of these is hampered by a lack of coordination among stakeholders

An engineer at Nelson Mandela University has developed a secure storage trolley for tablet computers. The storage also has a charging component which allows for them to be charged while safely stored.

PhenoLAB is an online web-based analyses platform and database for wine producers. PhenoLAB incorporates highly accurate, extensive and robust analyses methods based on absorbency values for determining tannins, colour density, anthocyanins and total phenolics levels in grapes, fermenting must and

In its current state, the software produces the key technical feasibility metrics and graphs, which help the user answer the questions of requirements and viability for a fleet. Although the software is free and open-source, it is a terminal/command-line application which requires technical IT

Almost one million South Africans who are Deaf use South African Sign Language (SASL) as their primary means of communication, as many are unable to speak, read, or lip-read in any of the eleven official spoken or written languages. This diverse, multi-ethnic community is largely excluded from

FemtoFab™ introduces an automated femtosecond laser-based process for the fabrication of micro and nano-constriction structures on high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin films such as YBa₂Cu₃O₇-ₓ. The technique enables the precise and reproducible formation of superconducting nano- and micro

BioReRAM™ is a novel non-volatile Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM) technology that utilises a bio-based switching/active layer made from milk or a milk-based emulsion. The resistive switching layer, located between two electrodes, contains lactose, fat, protein, and water - components

DilivariApp™ is an innovative grocery delivery application that connects online shoppers with a network of everyday road users to facilitate efficient, low-cost grocery delivery. Unlike conventional delivery platforms that depend on dedicated fleets, DilivariApp™ leverages the shared mobility model

The invention relates to an optimised silicon avalanche light-emitting diode (LED) that emits light at a wavelength of approximately 650 nm (red light). The device is based on a silicon PN junction structure designed with strategically doped regions and engineered impurity concentrations to enhance
