SARANTEL APPOINTS FORMER INSTITUTE OF NAVIGATION PRESIDENT AS TECHNICAL ADVISER
Sarantel announces today that Dr. Per Enge has agreed to act as an intellectual property and technical advisor to the company. Dr. Enge, a professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics in the School of Engineering at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, will advise Dr. Oliver Leisten, Sarantel's Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, and Sarantel's technical staff in the areas of intellectual property protection and research. Dr. Enge, a Fellow and former President of the Institute of Navigation (ION), has for many years played a key role in research on satellite navigation, publishing over one hundred articles and holding 12 patents in the field of radio navigation. Recognised as a leading authority in the field of satellite navigation, Dr. Enge is frequently asked to speak at global symposia and conferences, including ION, the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit, the Australian International Aerospace Congress, and at many international universities. Dr. Enge also advises other leading companies in the GPS industry, including SiRF and Rosum. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineers. "I am very pleased to be working with Sarantel and assisting them in protecting their very well developed intellectual property portfolio," says Dr. Enge. "Sarantel has a uniquely differentiated antenna, which is a great advantage when backed by a very robust set of patents. Sarantel has done good work in this area, and I am glad to add my own expertise to help further their success." "I am personally flattered that Dr. Enge has taken an interest in Sarantel's antenna technology," says Dr. Leisten. "As a scientist, I have followed his work with great interest, and value his advice as we keep pushing Sarantel's intellectual property forward. As a businessman, I recognise the importance of getting the 'outside' view to protect our IP and keep our focus sharp. Dr. Enge will contribute significantly to Sarantel's IP development and research efforts." Sarantel CEO David Wither, comments: "We are very pleased that Dr. Enge has agreed to advise our team at Sarantel. His experience with IP protection, his pragmatic approach and his commitment to bringing academic resources to real-world challenges will help Sarantel move to the next level."
