NORSAT INTERNATIONAL INC. INTRODUCES NEW SPECTRUM ANALYZER
- New Product to be Shown at Defence Systems & Equipment International 2009 - London, UK – September 8, 2009 -- Norsat International Inc. (“Norsat") (TSX: NII and OTC BB: NSATF) a leading provider of intelligent satellite solutions, announced today the introduction of the first from a new line of satellite terminal operator friendly tools - the Norsat SA-RSSI-I LNB Spectrum Analyzer- as used in Norsat’s Portable Satellite Terminals. The SA-RSSI-I is a standalone compact unit that comes with its own universal power supply, which can also power a Norsat LNB. The RSSI Spectrum Analyzer has a narrow L-band (950-1700 MHz) basic 10 MHz bandwidth, to aid the operator in locating and identifying the satellite. There is also a satellite almanac tool incorporated into the SA-RSSI-I for ease of satellite identification. Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO of Norsat, stated, “This new offering is another first in Norsat’s long- standing tradition of product leadership and innovation. The SA-RSSI Spectrum Analyzer offers a rugged and compact unit that can now be used by all satellite terminal users and operators. While Norsat terminal customers have long enjoyed the benefits of this feature on their units, we have developed this product to aid other satellite terminal users. In doing so, we seek to introduce the Norsat functionality and durability to a range of users that currently do not use Norsat satellite terminals.” This product will be on show at Defence Systems & Equipment International 2009 from September 8 – 11, 2009 at ExCeL in London, UK. Norsat will be in the CADSI (Canadian Association of Defense and Security Industries) Pavilion in Booth #739A. Additional product information is available at www.norsat.com.
