US defence contractor provides production order for military antenna

 

Sarantel Group PLC, (AIM: SLG, "Sarantel"), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has received initial production orders from a major US defence contractor for the custom developed dual-frequency antenna solution.  It announced development funding for this project on 3 March 2010.   

Sarantel successfully develop a customised antenna solution to meet strict size, performance and weight requirements.  The antenna will address an existing and large market, offering higher performance and lower cost than the existing solution.

David Wither, CEO of Sarantel said:

"This is a very significant milestone for us, reached with a very important customer. Our entire engineering organisation was challenged by this development and we were able to deliver a highly innovative, high performance solution in a unique low cost rugged housing.

"This antenna solution opens up a significant new market for the company and we expect the sales of this product to impact materially revenues next year."
