Successful completion of field trials with Japanese camera manufacturer

Sarantel Group PLC (AIM: SLG, 'Sarantel' or 'the Group'), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has successfully completed field trials for a major Japanese camera manufacturer in Tokyo.

GPS antennas installed in cameras allow the recording of the geographical location of a photograph. The small size and high performance of Sarantel's GeoHelix GPS technology make it particularly well suited to this application and reduce the cost of manufacture, compared to the lower performance alternatives. 

David Wither, Chief Executive of Sarantel, said:

"We have successfully demonstrated that our technology can accomplish what many people thought was impossible - reliable standalone GPS performance in extreme urban conditions.

"We are confident that our technology will enable higher performing consumer products, which are more attractively styled while offering a lower total system cost."
