The purpose of the Incubation Centre is to demonstrate Digital Television Antenna manufacturing machinery, equipment and technologies. The SMMEs will also be trained on operating and maintaining the machinery and equipment. Most of the machinery sourced for the Centre represents technology that lowers the cost of producing the antennas. By lowering the cost of the capital equipment, SMMEs are therefore able to produce the antennas in smaller batches and at lower cost than would otherwise have been possible. The lower cost capital equipment therefore lowers the normal barriers to entry of potential business owners into this market.
The migration to digital broadcast transmission technology has begun globally, with some countries relatively advanced in their implementation. South Africa will be leading the global migration with the most advanced technology in digital transmissions being produced at TEMIC.
The Incubation Centre will be able to provide an end-to-end solution to the mandatory replacement of the digital antennas in the South African and African market.
