ATLANTA, May 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- EMS Wireless, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELMG), is announcing today the highest first quarter revenue results in the division's history, with sales of $15.6 million, which represents a 27.8 percent increase compared to the same quarter last year.
Gerald Hickman, senior vice president and general manager, EMS Wireless, credits the Q1 results to continued investment in wireless networks by EMS customers, which have fueled strong orders from EMS Wireless's antenna product lines, including both the traditional fixed-beam antennas and the Cobra(tm) (COntrollaBle Radiating Aperture) Series line of vertical electrical downtilt antennas.
"In the first quarter our antenna shipments were fairly evenly distributed across our entire customer base. We believe this shows that we are not solely dependent on one large customer," he said.
