Sarantel's PowerHelix™ antennas are the result of over 20 years of research and development, and are the subject of over 100 world-wide patents.

Based on the company's patented PowerHelix™ technology, these balanced antennas offer the benefits of small size, exceptional beamwidth and low Near Field. When, for example, they are used with portable GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers, more satellites are acquired, no bulky ground plane is needed, and a predictable response regardless of proximity to conductors, other antennas or human tissue, is obtained.

OEM and ODM handset designers can also benefit from this antenna range when incorporated into their products. In addition to the antenna characteristics mentioned Sarantel has produced 3G receive antennas that enable the handset manufacturer to remove high cost filter circuits.

Many other wireless applications, such as Bluetooth™ and wireless LANs, can benefit from the PowerHelix™ technology which also has the potential of being extended to next-generation mobile telephone handsets.

PowerHelix™ is the underlying technology for all Sarantel's product range such as the GeoHelix and SmartAntenna.
