System Searches Distributor Inventory for Antenna Products

St. Louis, Missouri, USA - January 8, 2010 - Laird Technologies, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of customized, performance-critical components for wireless systems and other advanced electronics applications, today announced the launch of its new online antenna stock locator system.

The online stock locator provides Laird Technologies' customers an electronic platform to directly access qualified distributors and their available inventory through the Lairdtech.com Website. Bruce Juhl, Laird Technologies Director of Distribution believes the locator is a plus from a customer perspective.

"Especially when customers are in the critical stages of the vendor and part selection process, we believe the visibility of this information will substantially enhance the Laird Technologies IAS customer experience," said Juhl.

Laird Technologies' online users now have a single destination to search the antenna inventory of several select distributors at the same time. The system can identify all Laird Technologies IAS products, which includes Land Mobile Radio - LMR (Portable, Vehicular, Base Station), Broadband Wireless Access - BWA (Wimax, WISP and Cellular), Wireless LAN - WLAN, and Radio Frequency Identification - RFID applications based on partial or entire part numbers, as well as by global region of availability. These indicators make it simple and easy for users to pinpoint which distributor can best fit their needs.

"Laird Technologies continues to increase ways to access our extensive antenna inventory, which is known for it's highest levels of quality and performance," stated Juhl. "This new stock locator system is only a part of our continuous sales strategy to provide improved customer service and higher levels of customer satisfaction."

The online locator adds ease and efficiency to obtaining Laird Technologies antenna products. Results from a part number search offer customers several options from requesting a quote to, in some cases, the ability to directly purchase the product online from distributors such as Streakwave, Talley, Omni, Arcadian, Sparco Technologies, Richardson Electronics and WPS Antennas.
