LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- MB Tech, Inc (OTCBB:MBTT) is pleased to announce that its chief technical officer and engineering team have completed the field test for North American DBS and have given the thumbs up to initiate production tooling.
The MB Tech portable auto positioning flat antenna has proven to pick up proper signals of all of the popular DBS satellite providers including DIRECTV, Dish Network, and Bell Express in Canada.
Additionally, the most recent testing has now proven operable through normal pane glass, meaning that it can operate indoors and track through a window. This capability opens the market for the product substantially for apartments and condominium buildings for indoor use.
Now the direct market opportunities for this product include boats in marina, RV's, tailgating, and apartments and condominiums as markets that open up a larger digital satellite viewing audience at a viable price point for consumers.
Hanwook Bae, CEO of MB Tech states, "We have incorporated phased array technology with extremely light weight materials to complete the testing process of this re-engineered improved version of the product model. MB Tech's flat satellite antenna is the most affordable, highly efficient and lightweight products of this type.
"Thanks to our alliances with Teltron and A-Telecom and their support, we will be tooling for production with the target set for an end-of-August production run."
