Sarantel gets production orders from General Dynamics Itronix

12th Oct 2011, 7:27 am by Jon Mainwaring Sarantel’s antennas are designed to deliver improved performance over existing antenna designs

Specialist antenna manufacturer Sarantel (LON:SLG) announced this morning that it has received further production orders for its GeoHelix GPS antenna – this time from General Dynamics Itronix.

Itronix – a subsidiary of US defence giant General Dynamics that specialises in rugged mobile computing – will use GeoHelix in its GD300 rugged wearable computer. According to Sarantel, this wrist or chest worn computer combines the best-in-class commercially available GPS technology with battlefield-rugged computing for “an ultra-thin, lightweight and cost effective computing and situational awareness platform”. 

The device operates like an ultra-sensitive commercial GPS (Global Positional System) unit, or interfaces with tactical radios, for secure network access. 

“Sarantel’s antenna technology is uniquely suited for precision, body-worn applications that have to operate in the most challenging environments,” said David Wither, Sarantel’s chief executive officer. “We are very pleased that General Dynamics Itronix has selected our technology for the GD300 Rugged Wearable Computer. This highlights our growing traction in military applications where precision, reliability and small size are critically important." 

Sarantel is a specialist in the design of high-performance miniature antennas for portable wireless applications. These ceramic filtering antennas are designed to deliver improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clear signal, better range and 90-per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation that is absorbed by the human body.

This latest news of orders comes after the firm received production orders from a leading European electronics company at the start of September for its SL1206 GPS antenna. The SL1206 GPS antenna will form part of a compact radio system that is embedded inside body armour that has been designed for soldiers.
