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. These antennas solve a performance impairment problem that is faced by
conventional antennas, by reducing the amount of energy that is absorbed into
the body by approximately 90 per cent. The Sarantel technology therefore
provides a stronger and clearer signal to enable better product performance and
also more attractive product styling.

In April 2005, Sarantel announced an agreement with TomTom to supply its
GeoHelix GPS antenna for use in TomTom's newest navigation solutions, TomTom
MOBILE 5 for mobile phones and TomTom NAVIGATOR 5 for PDAs. The GPS receiver is
so sensitive it can be placed in a pocket or bag, without line of sight
required, ensuring reliable reception in urban areas or next to the body.
As well as GPS, Sarantel's antennas can service Wi-Fi, 3G, satellite radio, and
Bluetooth platforms that are expected to be a key element in the future success
of mobile network operators and device manufacturers.
