Vancouver British Columbia – August 22, 2007– Norsat International Inc. (“Norsat”) (TSX: NII and OTC BB: NSATF), a leading provider of intelligent satellite solutions, announced today that it unveiled the Norsat Rover™, a single backpack portable satellite terminal, at the AFCEA LandWarNet 2007 show in Ft.

“Satellite terminal users continue to look for increased portability and improved ease of use, and Norsat is the only provider that offers a complete terminal that is capable of data transfer rates of approximately 1 Mbps and is still compact enough to fit into a single backpack,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO, Norsat International Inc. “With the introduction of the Norsat Rover™, we believe we have further enhanced our market leadership, better positioning us for future growth in the “grab-and-go” satellite terminal market segment.”
The Norsat Rover™ is the first product in the company’s new and expanding Rover Family ™, a line of ultra portable satellite terminal systems. The Norsat Rover is a complete satellite terminal that fits into a single extended-mission backpack. It includes a segmented carbon fiber antenna; a high precision, a low-profile tripod; a low noise block down-converter; a block up converter; a satellite alignment aid, which includes a spectrum analyzer and DVB-S receiver; and a license for Norsat’s proprietary user interface software, Norsat LinkControl™. The Norsat Rover™ is currently available with a 1m Ku-Band antenna. Other frequency bands and antenna sizes are under development.
AFCEA LandWarNet runs from August 21- 23, 2007, at the Broward County Convention Center. Norsat is located in booth # 1232.
