Sarantel Group PLC, (AIM: SLG, 'Sarantel'), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has received volume production orders for its GeoHelix GPS antenna used in AutoSeis™ HDR 1C, a high-definition recording, autonomous seismic node. AutoSeis HDR1C is provided by AutoSeis, Inc, a Global Geophysical Services (NYS-GGS) company. The HDR1C seismic node promises to revolutionize the natural resource exploration process.

The HDR 1C node uses Sarantel's GeoHelix GPS antenna as part of a precision timing and location system which enables the probe to gather highly accurate geological survey data. These autonomous nodes can be deployed in large numbers, over a large geographic area and replace expensive and time-consuming wired survey systems.Sarantel's GeoHelix GPS filtering antenna was selected for this application because it offers an omni-directional gain pattern which provides the customer stable and reliable GPS performance across a wide range of installation environments.


David Wither, CEO of Sarantel, said:

"We are very excited by this new and innovative application for Sarantel's technology. GPS is used as a precision timing source for a broad range of applications and the HDR1C autonomous seismic node is a great example of how Sarantel’s technology is enabling the development of a wide range of game changing devices"Ralph Muse, CEO of AutoSeis inc. a Global Geophysical Services Company, said“The Sarantel GeoHelix GPS antenna has helped us to develop our unique product with advanced continuous recording through the use of the highly accurate state of the art GPS solution. The support provided by Sarantel to ensure the best design available was invaluable in ensuring the HDR1C is the smallest, lightest seismic node available”

About Sarantel
Sarantel designs high-performance antennas for portable wireless devices. These revolutionary ceramic filtering antennas offer dramatically improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clearer signal, better range and a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation absorbed by the body. Because of their smaller size and higher capabilities, Sarantel's antennas enable the creation of smaller and innovative wireless devices in the GPS, WiMax, Tracking, Satellite radio and satellite phone markets.
 

Sarantel Limited, a leading manufacturer of high performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, announces the release of a new evaluation kit for its SL1300 (LBS Pro) antenna.

The SL1300EVK incorporates the SL1300 (LBS Pro) antenna mounted on a PCB which is integrated into a clear plastic evaluation box. The evaluation box showcases the proper method for mechanically integrating the antenna and includes a SMA male connector which allows customers to easily evaluate the antenna’s performance. In addition the kit contains a memory stick containing all the relevant design documentation and files required to ensure a successful implementation of the SL1300 (LBS Pro) antenna.

“Providing customers with an easy to use, stable evaluation platform for the SL1300 antenna will further enhance the products and services we have available”, said Chris Muir, Director of Sales for Sarantel Ltd., adding “the access to the design files and data will help potential customers find what they need quickly and easily as they go through the implementation of our solution in their products.” 

The SL1300EVK is available to purchase through all Sarantel Distributors, detail of whom can be found at www.sarantel.com/wheretobuy. Further information on the SL1300 antenna can be found on the Sarantel website at www.sarantel.com and the Sarantel Application Centre at https://applicationcentre.sarantel.com/
