Norsat Announces Extended Three-Year Warranty

on All Microwave Products

(Vancouver, Canada) November 16, 2005, 09:00 AM EST – Norsat International Inc. (TSX – NII.TO; OTC BB – NSATF.OB) today announced the extension of its standard warranty period on all microwave products to three years.  

In addition to the three-year warranty period, Norsat’s microwave customers will now have unlimited access to technical support and to an on-line library of product and technical support literature.  “Live” technical support is available from 7:00 am PST to 6:00 pm PST.   

“The extension of our warranty period reflects our confidence in the reliability of our products – one of Norsat’s main hallmarks in the industry,“ said Dr. Amiee Chan, VP, Operations of Norsat International, Inc.

Norsat’s portfolio of microwave products for broadband communications offers both standard and custom block down-converters and block up-converters for the Ka, C, Ku and X bands, including the extended Ku band (13.75-14.5 GHz), as well as solid state power amplifiers, accessories and other custom products.  Norsat was one of the early pioneers in the development of LNBs (low noise block down-converters for satellite receivers) and enhanced its microwave component offering with leading-edge satellite transmitters.

”The companies and agencies who purchase our products have important communication needs and cannot afford to be out of service,” said Dr. Chan.  “Working with our customers to identify the products that are best suited to their specific applications, and providing ongoing technical support and warranty service so they can be as efficient and effective as possible, is critical to their and our success.”

Norsat’s microwave product customers include other technology and communications companies that support their own needs as well as the needs of military, emergency services and other public and private agencies and organizations.
