      Sarantel Appoints Former Institute of Navigation (ION) President as 
                               Technical Adviser

Wellingborough, UK, 12 September 2005 - Sarantel, the leading manufacturer of
revolutionary filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices, announces
today that Dr. Per Enge has agreed to act as an intellectual property and
technical advisor to the company. Dr. Enge, a professor of Aeronautics and
Astronautics in the School of Engineering at Stanford University, Palo Alto,
California, will advise Dr. Oliver Leisten, Sarantel's Co-Founder and Chief
Technology Officer, and Sarantel's technical staff in the areas of intellectual
property protection and research.

Dr. Enge, a Fellow and former President of the Institute of Navigation (ION),
has for many years played a key role in research on satellite navigation,
publishing over one hundred articles and holding 12 patents in the field of
radio navigation. Recognised as a leading authority in the field of satellite
navigation, Dr. Enge is frequently asked to speak at global symposia and
conferences, including ION, the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit, the
Australian International Aerospace Congress, and at many international
universities. Dr. Enge also advises other leading companies in the GPS industry,
including SiRF and Rosum. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineers.

"I am very pleased to be working with Sarantel and assisting them in protecting
their very well developed intellectual property portfolio," says Dr. Enge.
"Sarantel has a uniquely differentiated antenna, which is a great advantage when
backed by a very robust set of patents. Sarantel has done good work in this
area, and I am glad to add my own expertise to help further their success."

"I am personally flattered that Dr. Enge has taken an interest in Sarantel's
antenna technology," says Dr. Leisten. "As a scientist, I have followed his work
with great interest, and value his advice as we keep pushing Sarantel's
intellectual property forward. As a businessman, I recognise the importance of
getting the 'outside' view to protect our IP and keep our focus sharp. Dr. Enge
will contribute significantly to Sarantel's IP development and research
efforts."

Sarantel CEO David Wither, comments: "We are very pleased that Dr. Enge has
agreed to advise our team at Sarantel. His experience with IP protection, his
pragmatic approach and his commitment to bringing academic resources to
real-world challenges will help Sarantel move to the next level."

About Sarantel

Sarantel designs, manufactures and sells patented, ceramic, filtering antennas
for use in portable wireless devices such as PDAs, laptops and 3G mobile
devices. Its current focus is on producing antennas for the GPS market which
allow a clearer signal than conventional antennas whilst reducing the amount of
energy absorbed by the head by approximately 90 per cent. The antennas simplify
system design, thus allowing design standardisation and reduced time to market
and cost for manufacturers.

As well as GPS, Sarantel's antennas are designed to service Wi-Fi, 3G and
Bluetooth platforms which are expected to be a key element in the future success
of mobile network operators and device manufacturers. Sarantel's antennas can
significantly increase the range and effective bandwidth of Wi-Fi devices and
Sarantel is planning to commence high volume delivery of its antennas into the
satellite radio market within the next 12 months.

Sarantel listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 2nd
March 2005 at an issue price of 82p. Sarantel is included in the IT Hardware
