UEC Technologies (Pty) Ltd is an ISO9001 company
based in South Africa and is focused on the design, development,
industrialization and manufacture of Compressed Digital Television
and Multimedia high-speed transfer products and software solutions
for the high-end mass consumer global satellite, cable and terrestrial
markets.
UEC played a pivotal role in introducing one of the
world*s first commercial DVB/MPEG2 decoders in 1995, placing the
company at the forefront of digital technical innovation. In 1997
strong growth in the industry, combined with the success of several
IRD products, prompted UEC to establish its own dedicated manufacturing
facility in Durban, South Africa. Since that time, UEC has manufactured
and supplied over 1.5 million digital IRDs worldwide and has captured
market share around the world. The UEC factory in Mount Edgecombe
is a state-of-the-art facility that currently produces an average
of 3500 decoders per day.
UEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Altech, a leading
South African high-technology group involved in telecommunications,
multi-media and information technology. Altech forms part of the
Altron Group, a South African electronics giant, and this allows
UEC access to national and international resources, contact and
expertise within the Group. UEC is able to obtain exceptionally
competitive material prices due to Altron Group purchasing power,
and specifically through AAD, the joint venture between Altech and
Arrow Distribution.
All UEC products are developed in-house, with customer-specified
3rd party operating and conditional access systems incorporated
against licence agreements. The company employs over 100 qualified
engineers and has developed close alliances and relationships with
technology companies in the industry.
Globalisation is the central theme in UEC*s strategy
and export initiatives. Export executives are trained in all aspects
of marketing, export finance, purchasing and freight. UEC has Sales
and R&D offices in Sydney to provide local software and engineering
support and a business development office in California.
