Compared with other antennas, the Sarantel antenna’s high performance and size made it the only choice.” DavidWither, CEO of Sarantel, said: “Because of its small size and high performance, our antenna is well suited to the Iridium handheld data market and we are delighted to announce its integration into the Solara Field Tracker 2100.”
