About Sarantel
Sarantel designs, manufactures and sells patented, ceramic, filtering antennas
for use in portable wireless devices such as PDAs, laptops and 3G mobile
devices. Its current focus is on producing antennas for the GPS market which
allow a clearer signal than conventional antennas whilst reducing the amount of
energy absorbed by the head by approximately 90 per cent. The antennas simplify
system design, thus allowing design standardisation and reduced time to market
and cost for manufacturers.

As well as GPS, Sarantel's antennas are designed to service Wi-Fi, 3G and
Bluetooth platforms which are expected to be a key element in the future success
of mobile network operators and device manufacturers. Sarantel's antennas can
significantly increase the range and effective bandwidth of Wi-Fi devices and
Sarantel is planning to commence high volume delivery of its antennas into the
satellite radio market within the next 12 months.
