SARANTEL GROUP PLC
Development contract with major US military radio supplier
Sarantel (AIM: SLG), the leading manufacturer of revolutionary filtering
antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has secured a contract with a major US
supplier of military radios to develop a rugged version of its 2nd generation
GPS antenna. Development work on the antenna, which is designed to connect to a
tactical military radio, will begin immediately and production shipments are
expected to begin next year, 2009.
David Wither, Chief Executive of Sarantel said:
'This development contract is Sarantel's first Military GPS contract and
represents a significant step in the Company's diversification strategy. GPS is
playing a central role in the US military's plans to leverage technology and we
expect military GPS to become a growing part of our business in the future. As
GPS is embedded in more hand portable and body worn tactical equipment the
advantages of Sarantel's technology are becoming increasingly clear.'

Notes to Editors:
Sarantel (www.sarantel.com)
Sarantel is a leader in the design of high-performance miniature antennas for
portable wireless applications including hand-held navigation, satellite radio
and laptop computers.
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 high-volume consumer products
incorporating technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi, WiMax, 3G, GPRS, Satellite Radio
and Bluetooth.
