Design win: Garmin chooses Sarantel's GeoHelix GPS Antennas

Sarantel (AIM: SLG), the leading manufacturer of revolutionary filtering
antennas for mobile and wireless devices, announces that its award-winning
GeoHelix GPS Antennas have been chosen by Garmin for the recently launched
Colorado range of handheld GPS receivers.  The antennas are one of the most
compact and yet accurate positioning antennas on the market today; designed with
the varied and increasing demand for GPS technology in mind.

Garmin is a global leader in handheld GPS products and the Colorado series
represents a dramatic step forward in innovation and usability in the outdoor
GPS market segment.  Users will benefit from a host of innovative features,
including world class positional accuracy, and will find its small size easier
to use and more practical. The range of products incorporates a unique ''Rock
'N' Roller'' input device that allows for one-handed operation, shaded-relief
and satellite imagery mapping and vibrant color 3-inch screen with high
resolution, 15 hours of operating time on AA batteries, a built-in compass,
altimeter, and temperature sensor, plus  the ability to wirelessly exchange
routes, tracks, waypoints, and geocaches between two units.

David Wither, Chief Executive of Sarantel said:

'We are delighted to announce this strategically important contract with Garmin.
The challenge for GPS receiver manufacturers has been to develop a GPS product
that works effectively and accurately but matching these performance
requirements to an aesthetically pleasing, ever shrinking package is becoming
increasingly difficult.  Advances in antenna technology now mean that, for the
first time, consumers can benefit from high performance in a small hand-held
package, like Garmin's innovative new Colorado Series.'


NOTES TO EDITORS:

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, Satellite Radio, WiMax and Mobile
Satellite Services.
