============================================================================== (COMTEX) INTEGRAL ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF INDEPENDENT TESTING OF CTHA INTEGRAL ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF INDEPENDENT TESTING OF CTHA For Use in Tactical Communications System MORGANTOWN, W.Va., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITKG), today announces that its subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corp. (ETC) has received the results of independent tests performed recently on the Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna (CTHA). The CTHA is to be utilized in a Tactical Communication System (TCS) being presented by Geisas Technology Inc. (Geisas) of Millvalley, California. Under the sponsorship of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Geisas was requested to test and demonstrate the TCS for use by the US Coast Guard (USCG) and the New York Police Department (NYPD), for the purposes of transmitting wireless audio and video signals. On February 20,1998, the Geisas pre-prototype TCS, utilizing Integral's antenna among others, was tested on board the SS Gem State at the former Alameda Naval Air Station, with the US Coast Guard observing. The TCS operated at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and was comprised of a command console, an analog transmitter and a repeater. The command console was located inside the bridge of the 700 foot long SS Gem State. The CTHA was tested along with others in the link between the forecastle watertight door and the bridge, which required getting the signal over a 10 foot barrier, across 410 feet of deck with crane structures and shipping containers, and up seven decks to the bridge. The CTHA showed an excellent isotrophic signal with little signal degradation at the edges. Geisas has selected the CTHA as its primary transmitting antenna for the TCS because of its excellent signal properties both in a 360 degree azimuth and overhead as well as its compact size. Mark Williams, President and CEO of Integral stated, "We are grateful to Geisas for including the CTHA in their TCS system design. The results of this testing provides further validation as to the unique properties and capabilities of the CTHA. That is to say, it is omni-directional, ground plane independent, and able to circumvent barriers which typically compromise signal integrity when using standard antennas this small in size. We are pleased that the tests with the US Coast Guard exceeded all expectations." Through its subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corp., Integral Technologies, Inc. provides R&D services and OEM sub-licenses to its Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna technology, a new, patented antenna technology with broad applicability in the mobile wireless communications industry. Integral, is a business development company that provides financing and marketing services for advanced technologies that have passed the initial research and development stage.
