Shipments begin to General Dynamics

Sarantel (AIM: SLG), a manufacturer of revolutionary antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has begun shipments of its innovative GeoHelix GPS antennas to General Dynamics Corporation ('General Dynamics'), one of the world's leading suppliers of military equipment. 

General Dynamics is integrating the GeoHelix GPS antenna into the AN/PRC 154 Rifleman tactical radio and the MR-1 Go Book rugged portable computer for shipment to the US military. It chose Sarantel's technology because of its small size and high performance in hand-held and body-worn applications. 

The Board believes that this contract has the potential to benefit revenues materially in 2010. 

Sarantel is increasingly engaging with higher-value military clients, whose primary concerns are robust design and exceptional accuracy, both of which are key features of the GeoHelix GPS antenna.
