Production orders for General Dynamics Itronix rugged wearable computer

Sarantel Group PLC (AIM: SLG, 'Sarantel' or 'the Group'), a leading manufacturer of high-performance, miniature filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, has received production orders for its GeoHelix GPS antenna for use in the GD300 rugged wearable computer produced by General Dynamics Itronix.

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 unit, or interfaces with tactical radios, for secure network access. 

David Wither, CEO of Sarantel, said:

"Sarantel's antenna technology is uniquely suited for precision, body-worn applications that have to operate in the most challenging environments. 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."
