Norsat Announces Delivery of 3,000 LNBs for New AP Network
BURNABY, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 1999--Norsat International Inc. (TSE - NII; Nasdaq - NSATF), today announced the delivery of 3,000 Low Noise Block downconverters (LNBs) to the Associated Press (AP) for use in a new Ku-band network AP is implementing for the satellite delivery of print and audio news feeds to newspapers and radio and television broadcasters across the United States.

``We've been dealing with Norsat for over a decade,' said Dennis Coston, AP's Director of Satellite Technology. ``We know their LNBs work.' Together with C-band dishes already in place, the new receive-only network will serve some 4,500 news outlets.

``This sale not only confirms the reliability attached to the Norsat brand label in a situation where timeliness is of the essence,' said Robert H. Bucher, Norsat's President and Chief Executive Officer, ``but proves that Norsat can offer a premium product at a competitive price.'

Norsat International Inc. designs, engineers and distributes premium products for use in the satellite wireless communications and cable television industries. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Norsat America Inc. operates a network of 14 branch offices across the U.S. and is a distributor of DIRECTV to the DTH market and a DIRECTV MSO for the MDU market. Norsat America also distributes DirecPC.
