Mitec Telecom to Unveil Technology From Recently Acquired Keragis at Satellite 2008(Canada Newswire English Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Attention Business/Financial Editors MONTREAL and WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 26 /CNW Telbec/ - Mitec Telecom Inc. (TSX: MTM) announced today that it will introduce its next-generation amplifier solutions developed by Keragis, Mitec's recent acquisition, at this week's Satellite 2008 Conference and Exhibition in Washington, D.C. "I am excited to be exhibiting Keragis' breakthrough technology at Satellite 2008 as part of the Mitec team, " said Robert Rector, founder of Keragis and currently Mitec's Chief Technology Officer. "This has proven to be an ideal match - combining Keragis' revolutionary technology with Mitec's commercialization expertise, distribution channels and manufacturing capability. Together, we are pursuing serious business opportunities that we would otherwise not have." Keragis' patent-pending technology enables exceptionally powerful amplifiers to be used in unusually compact structures. The idea behind the technology involves the use of a unique shape - a dodecahedron - a 12-sided sphere that allows for increased volume but remains compact and light as a result of its design. "We are very excited about the potential this technology provides in some larger initiatives for Mitec," said Daniel Piergentili, Mitec's Chief Executive Officer. "Mitec will be demonstrating this new technology to existing and prospective customers including some of the world's largest systems integrators. They will now be able to consider new, state-of-the-art applications that require high efficiency in smaller and lighter footprints, a key factor in radar and VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellite systems."
