NORSAT INTRODUCES POWER PRODUCTS LINE AT NAB 2010
Las Vegas, NV –April 13, 2010 –Norsat International Inc. (“Norsat”) (TSX: NII and OTC BB: NSATF), a leading provider of broadband communications solutions, announced today the Norsat line of quality power products, adding to the Commercial, WiMax and Maritime components series. The Power Product Line is designed to enhance the performance of Norsat LNB's and BUC's, and providing overall system reliability and peace of mind.
The power supplies - 400W and 1000W - are of the same standard and ruggedness as used in our portable satellite systems. The power supplies have demonstrated proven performance even under the most strenuous conditions.
The Spectrum Analyzer works with laptops to provide on the spot results instantly with built in RSSI. The SA-RSSI will also be available as a "Rack Mountable" system for remote locations operable via a router. The SA-RSSI is field portable, compact and rugged, weighing only 750 grams.
The new in-line Volt Meter is a compact, lightweight device designed to test the current and voltage for LNB's and low power BUC's. The in-line meter is powered by the modem eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
The L Band Pass Filter works to prevent your modem from being saturated with out of band frequencies, providing the clear signal to improve the performance of your system.
“We are pleased to be introducing several new products from our Microwave Division at this year’s NAB 2010 Show,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO. “These product introductions, together with the maritime products introduced earlier this year, demonstrates Norsat’s continuing commitment to innovation and product leadership.”
These products will be on show at NAB 2010 from April 12 – 15, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Norsat will be in booth SU3027. Additional product information is available atwww.norsat.com.
