UK’s Trade and Investment Entrepreneurial Programme The California company has potential, Vortis located in Scotland was supported by Scottish Enterprise’s National High Growth Start-Up Unit. “Vortis Tech is considered among the top rated UK opportunities for growth with significant potential. The company chose Scotland as its HQ and was identified by Scottish Enterprise, as one of a select number of companies with global potential.”

Dr. Carl Dietrich, PhD., for Virginia Tech Antenna Group (VTAG) and Mobile and Portable Radio Research Group (MPRG) who teaches a course in Trends in Antennas for Wireless Communications and whose dissertation was in “Adaptive Arrays and Diversity Antenna Configurations for Handheld Wireless Communication Terminals for ” Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, February 15, 2000:  “Considering the technology launch curves, it appears as though the Vortis as released today is ahead of it’s time. 

In addition, as compared to Qualcom’s chip technology, Magnolia Broadband Diversity Chipset and Zyray Spinner CHIP, the Vortis provides a complementary improvement that can offer a unique balance to these new electronic standards and technology.  We believe that at this time and upon our final release that few (if any) of the technologies in existence today can offer the balanced specifications offered by the Vortis.”

From Dr. Paul Record MIET C.Eng, Electrical, Electronic & Computer Engineering School of Engineering & Physical Sciences Harriet Watt University:  “My research in medical monitoring of antennas in the body can lend significant support to Vortis through one of several programs offered by the University that would grow the technology for the emerging markets referred to as medical monitoring markets.”

From Steve Bowles, VP Centurion Wireless International, VTL’s strategic partner: (see VTL’s website) “Centurion brings an understanding of what it takes to manufacturer an antenna and bring the product to market that engineering firms often do not share.  This partnership is a very good fit for both companies.”  The Chief Technical Officer has introduced VTL within their customer base in collaboration with current licensing program in place.  

From Tyco, owner of RangeStar International, the company who started embedded technology:  “Tyco (paraphrasing) is delighted to assist Vortis Technologies with support from RF and mechanical engineers in collaboration with VTL to launch current technology and explore new niche market opportunities.”  Tyco was Vortis' turnkey supplier. “Tyco (paraphrasing) finds the Vortis exciting as a new technology and are poised to provide Tyco’s vast global resources in antenna technology, manufacturing and emerging technologies in support of VTL’s design and manufacturing goals.”

From the CEO, of Antenova, Cambridge UK; advanced antenna company:  “Our intent is to review your antenna performance results/measurements, test the antennas ourselves, send out a "distributors pack" for feedback [i.e., presentation including price range, market size & likely customer set), results/measurements, & samples], and introduction to Vortis.  Obviously, if all moves forward well, we will develop the appropriate financial & legal agreements.
 
Om P. Gandhi, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, University of Utah.  d'Arsonval Medal of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, 1995, for "pioneering contributions to dosimetry of electromagnetic fields in models of the human and animals."   Fellow, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1979, for "contributions to the understanding of nonionizing radiation effects, to the development of electron devices, and to engineering education".   Listed in Who's Who in Engineering, Who's Who in America, etc.  1995 Chairman, NCRP Scientific Committee on "Biological Effects and Exposure."  Presented Recommendations for Pulse-Modulated RF Fields."  IEEE SCC 28.IV Subcommittee on Electromagnetic Safety Standards.
 
Proposed to help Vortis team understand the newly discovered radiation pattern for the interferometric array.
 
Mr. Gandhi developed the numerical techniques for electromagnetic (EM) absorption and scattering calculations from power line to microwave frequencies; software for design of personal wireless devices including low SAR antennas, numerical and experimental techniques for compliance testing of wireless communication devices; numerical techniques for microwave integrated circuits; microwave engineering and applications; and development of instrumentation for assessing personnel safety in radiofrequency EM fields.
 
The founding management built collaboration to enhance the competitive position and improve distribution; as well enrich the supportive developers where applicable.
 
The groups above were extraordinarily kind and willing to assist in many ways to help promulgate Vortis technology.
