Sarantel Group PLC

US Navy Contract

Sarantel (AIM: SLG), a manufacturer of revolutionary antennas for mobile and wireless devices, announces a design and development contract for the US Navy.

Sarantel will develop a dual-band GPS / Iridium antenna for the US Navy, which selected Sarantel's innovative GeoHelix antenna technology for its small volume and high performance. Sarantel already supplies antennas for Iridium satellite phones and consumer and military GPS systems.  

Sarantel is increasingly engaging with higher-value military clients who recognise the value of its GeoHelix antenna technology for its robust design and high level of accuracy. 

About Sarantel

Sarantel is a leader in the design of high-performance miniature antennas for portable wireless applications. Sarantel's revolutionary ceramic filtering antennas offer dramatically improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clearer signal, better range and a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation absorbed by the body. Because of their smaller size and higher capabilities, Sarantel's antennas enable manufacturers to create innovative wireless products for the GPS, WiMax, Satellite Radio and Satellite phone markets.
