Sarantel Cooperates With STMicroelectronics For Great Reception In European Automotive Market.LONDON -- Sarantel Group (AIM:SLG See stereo lithography. ), the leading manufacturer of revolutionary filtering antennas for wireless devices, today announced that it is working with STMicroelectronics to equip a new portable navigation device ("PND (Personal Navigation Device) A portable GPS-based navigation system that can be used when walking, hiking or in any vehicle. See GPS. ") designed by Italian OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and manufacturer R.i.CO. s co. abbr. 1. company 2. county Co. 1 or co. 1. Company 2. and co. .r.l for the European market. The device incorporates the Sarantel GeoHelix antenna and STMicroelectronics' GPS receiver. The European PND market is growing rapidly as new products become more affordable and versatile, incorporating features such as MP3 players. However, their portability creates challenges for conventional GPS antennas, which lose performance when close to the human body. With outstanding near-field characteristics and an omni-directional design, Sarantel's miniature antennas offer superior wireless performance, especially when close the body. This makes them an ideal choice for the new generation of handheld devices, including PNDs. David Wither, Sarantel Chief Executive, said: "The automotive market is central to the explosive GPS growth in Europe. PNDs for automotive use are becoming indispensable tools for business and casual travellers alike. We are pleased to work with STMicroelectronics and look forward to seeing the R.i.CO. PND on store shelves throughout Europe." Notes to Editors: About Sarantel Sarantel is a leader in the design of high-performance miniature antennas for portable wireless applications including hand-held navigation, satellite radio and laptop computers. Sarantel's 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 manufacturers to create innovative high-volume consumer products incorporating technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi, WiMax, 3G, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. , Satellite Radio and Bluetooth.
