Norsat International

Las Vegas, Nevada – April 15th, 2008 – Norsat International Inc. (“Norsat”) (TSX: NII and OTC BB: NSATF), a leading provider of intelligent satellite solutions, announced product additions to its line of phase lock loop (PLL) low noise block down-converters (LNB) and external reference block down-converters (BDC) at the NAB 2008 tradeshow, the world’s largest electronic media show.

The new line of wideband Ku-Band PLL LNBs, dubbed the 1000 HE series, operates in an extended input frequency range of 10.95 GHz to 12.75 GHz. The 1000 HE Series removes the need to change out PLL LNBs as users move from region to region – a key benefit for satellite newsgathering, maritime and on-the-move applications.

The new external reference BDC line is available in both Ku-Band (1000X Series) and C-band (3000X Series). It offers the high stability necessary for low data-rate applications such as telemetry and remote management.

The products are on display at booth C4644 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 14-17th, 2008. Additional product information is available at www.norsat.com.

The NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show covers the development, delivery and management of professional video and audio content across all mediums. Complete details are available at www.nabshow.com.
