FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Norsat Expands High Stability LNB Product Line

(Vancouver, Canada) October 14th, 2008 – Norsat International Inc. (TSX – NII.TO; OTC BB – NSATF.OB), a leading provider of intelligent satellite solutions, today announced that it has expanded its line of high stability Ku-Band low noise block down-converters (LNBs) with the addition of a HS 1000 Ku-Band PLL LNB and a 1000 HX, a highly compact external reference LNB.

”This further extension of our LNB product line follows on the heels of the launch of our series of high stability LNBs,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, president and CEO, Norsat International Inc. “Our high stability LNB products are gaining traction in the market place as the use of complex modulation schemes becomes increasingly prevalent and the need to detect narrow carriers becomes more pronounced.”

The HS 1000 series sets a new standard for phase locked loop LNBs in terms of the local oscillator stability. The internal crystal oscillator in the HS 1000 has a stability level of better than 4 kHz. The legacy 1000 H series have stability levels which range from 5 KHz to 25 KHz, depending on the model.

The advanced 1000 HX series is the smallest external reference unit on the market. The dimensions of the 1000 HX series are 35 mm x 66 mm x 40mm.  

Other key features of the new LNBs include:

-

Typical low noise figures of 0.8 to 0.9 dB (1000X); and of 0.7 dB to 0.9 dB (HS 1000)

-

Conversion gain of 62 dB (1000X); and 60 dB (HS 1000)

-

 Extended temperature range of -40°C to 60°C   

The units will be on display at booth 617 at SATCON 2008 which is being held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, in New York City, on October 15^th and 16^th, 2008. To book an appointment at the event, please contact Teri Vincent or Laura Garcia at 1-800 644 4562.
