Omnidirectional bonus for miniature GPS antenna
Antenna specialist Sarantel has announced the PowerHelix GPS-P, a miniature GPS antenna which is omnidirectional and therefore tolerant of the orientation of the GPS receiver.
Novel GPS antenna picks up more satellites
The GeoHelix-H is a new-technology high-gain active antenna for portable GPS receivers which enables more satellites to be acquired than conventional patch devices.
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 expects 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 startups to major OEMs and ODMs.
