"This first order is an important step in our goal to launch multiple test sites in 2007 that will provide MTI Micro with the opportunity to showcase its technology and establish strategic relationships in the military markets," said Peng Lim, CEO of MTI. "Since the beginning of our marketing campaign, only a few weeks ago, we have made a number of prototype demonstrations to potential key customers with very encouraging feedback."
