This is our first eNewsletter for 2008, so Happy New Year, what a great summer we are having in NZ.
MasTec sent two staff members overseas in November to a World Education Convention in Thailand called DIDAC 2007 to seek out new products and connections.

We had a great time meeting a completely new type of manufacturers that are devoted to making products for education.
There were companies from all continents with a great array of products.
We are planning on expanding our educational product line significantly for 2008 in this area.
If you are in education and need to discuss your next years products for classes and research do contact us. Link
We are planning an extra edition for February also, that will catch us up on the latest technology from so many of our manufacturers.
We have hdozens of press releases and will publish a selected edition of these in late February.
Focus will be on Digi "Drop in Networks" of course as this is the year of "Drop in Networks Worldwide".
However significant new technology is coming from all our areas, instruments, gauges, encoders, infrastructure, vision, micros, ICP, instrumentation, automation and power to make a big edition needed.
However, with promises of Wimax and LTE on the horizon for 2010, wireless is the main carrier from here forward it seems.
During 2007 we made an announcement that Frequency Devices USA was sold.
Check out FD's website.
They have expanded their filter range and also now have DSP, a range of filters in chips, modules, sub assemblies and instruments.
We know their is a company in Australia and NZ or the greater world that needs some of these products at OEM level supply. We can arrange samples and technical assistance with FD for you. If you are protyping and have a high quality filter need do contact us.

Yes, we have decided to sell Smart Works after all these years.
We started SWS back in 1991 to develop microprocessor based DAQ systems and then used that to make a variety of battery testing equipment.
The reason for the sale, it is part of our onward going redesign of MasTec Ltd to becoming a sales company and trade house only, with no development teams or programmers.
SWS works inside the MasTec framework at present. Sales are booked through MasTec and then passed to SWS. MasTec staff help build the products also.
Last year year you will have noticed that we removed the Integration Division out of MasTec and now have several external engineers doing this work for us with no in house development staff. It has been very succesful.
However with SWS we are going to sell the whole thing and remove all responsibilities from the MasTec staff.
SWS is primarily making Geotechnical Test Equipment and Windows Testing systems but also fabricates special items.
We have two external engineers who do most of the work in the Geotechnical products but the Windows Testing Systems are all made by SWS in house.
Who it would fit best.

Current work on the books:
Look forward to hearing from an
interested parties. SWS
