Norsat Relocates Headquarters to Richmond

Consolidates Operations to Drive Operational Efficiencies & Reflect Business Model

(Vancouver, Canada) September 22 , 2006, 08 : 00 EST – Norsat International Inc . (TSX – NII.TO; OTC BB – NSATF.OB)  announced that the Company will relocate its headquarters to Richmond from Burnaby on Monday. The Company will consolidate its two Burnaby locations at the new 23,405 sq. ft Richmond facility.

“This move reflects how we expect to evolve, the increasingly international character of our business and our bid to drive efficiency throughout our operations. Our business requires close daily interaction with suppliers and logistics partners. The new facility is within close proximity to these partners and Vancouver International Airport. We expect that supply chain partners will continue to assume non-core functions and that an increasing portion of our business will come from channel partners. We expect to save almost 60% in monthly rent expenses as a direct consequence of this move,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO, Norsat International Inc.

The new Richmond facility will serve as the Company’s international headquarters. The new address will be 110 - 4020 Viking Way, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada V6V 2N2.
