FRAMOS ELECTRONICS TO REPRESENT SARANTEL IN UK
29 January 2004 - Sarantel Limited

UK-based antenna specialist Sarantel has selected Framos Electronics Ltd to increase the design-in support provided to UK GPS system developers. The move continues increases in distributor appointments elsewhere in the world to meet growing demand for Sarantel's PowerHelix antenna technology from GPS receiver and handset manufacturers.

Framos will be responsible for the distribution of Sarantel's market leading antenna technology, providing sales and engineering support directly to UK designers and developers. Sarantel anticipates that this total support package will accelerate time to market for its customers and deliver more high performing antenna solutions for GPS users.

Julian Parfitt, MD of Framos UK said, "We are looking forward to replicating the success that Framos is having in Germany with Sarantel's antennas, Framos is deeply involved in providing GPS technology for both positioning and timing applications and we expect to make a considerable contribution to Sarantel's future UK antenna design wins."

Sarantel's CEO Barrie Foley adds, "Last year we increased the number European partners to help us support the regional market and as new applications surface in the UK regularly we most definitely need the resources of Framos to provide an effective service to Sarantel's UK customers."

The agreement is effective immediately and will see Framos operating with customers of all sizes from UK start-ups to major OEMs and ODMs.
