TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – May 11, 2017) – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA)(CSE:SNA.CN)(CNSX:SNA)(OTCBB:SNAVF) (“Star” or the “Company”), and Tianjin Zhonglian Tiantong Space Technology Co. Ltd. (“ZLT”), are pleased to confirm the execution of a Products Distribution Agreement.

Under this agreement, ZLT will have exclusive rights in China to sell the STAR V-trk™ a real-time tracking, status reporting and analysis system which, due to its small form factor, was specifically tailored for helicopters, regional and business aircraft. Star will deliver the first STAR V-trk™ equipment to ZLT at end of summer 2017.

ZLT will also distribute and sell STAR M.M.I.™, displays and control panels for aerospace applications.

Over the next three years, both companies will jointly work on capturing specifically identified customers and users of the two product lines, which already include local airlines and aircraft retrofit centers.

ZLT will utilize the STAR V-trk™ and STAR M.M.I.™ products to complement their current offering of in-house airborne and ruggedized equipment developed around inertial reference and guidance, as well as other communication equipment and services.

This agreement completes Star’s current marketing plan for the Chinese market, which was initiated with another local partner with the STAR T.T.T.™ tracking and telecommunication system.

Mr. Viraf S. Kapadia, CEO of Star said:

“We are delighted with this new opportunity to open new markets for two products at Star, the STAR V-trk™ and the STAR M.M.I.™, displays for retrofit and upgrade. ZLT will benefit from their already established relationship with aircraft and helicopter manufacturers, as well as modification centers locally. Having another solid partner for selling and supporting these products in the Chinese market was a major goal in our Asian approach.”
