Sarantel Group PLC

Launch of two new GeoHelix GPS antennas

Sarantel Group PLC (AIM: SLG, 'Sarantel' or 'the Group'), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has launched its new SL1250 and SL1350 GeoHelix GPS antennas.

Both antennas use improved Sarantel technology, enhancing the performance and mechanical properties whilst providing customers with an easy to integrate, cost effective, GPS antenna solution. 

Sarantel's GeoHelix antennas deliver a level of positional accuracy and reliability that is essential for a rapidly growing number of location sensitive applications. Accuracy and reliability are fundamental to the success of a large number of mobile social networking, location based advertising, and other location based service applications as well as an increasing number of safety critical applications which cannot ignore GPS antenna performance.

These new products will replace Sarantel's SL1201 and SL1202 series of antennas.

David Wither, CEO of Sarantel, said:

"These antennas signify a major evolution in our GeoHelix technology, including our first multi-band antenna. We have been able to significantly improve GPS performance while setting a new standard in the industry for 2.4GHz performance.

"More importantly, we have been able to accomplish these advancements in addition to improving the antenna's mechanical properties and making it even more straight forward and cost effective for our customers to integrate."
