Sarantel Group PLC
US defence contractor funds antenna design and development
Sarantel Group PLC, (AIM: SLG, "Sarantel"), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has signed an agreement with a major US defence contractor to develop a customised dual-frequency antenna solution for portable military satellite communications. The contractor is also funding the project.
Sarantel will develop a customised antenna solution to meet strict size, performance and weight requirements. If successfully completed, the antenna will address an existing and large market, offering higher performance, a smaller size at lower cost that the existing solution.
David Wither, CEO of Sarantel said:
"This is an important development for us, in that not only is the US defence firm fully funding the development programme but it is another endorsement by the US defence community - an area in which we have seen real traction over the last 12 months with a number of design wins."
