WEGENER Receives Order for New iPump Product

DULUTH, Ga., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wegener Corporation (NASDAQ:WGNR), a leading provider of television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced a significant order from an existing radio broadcasting customer to expand their current iPump network with the new WEGENER iPump 6420 product.

"WEGENER has served the audio broadcasting industry for over 24 years," stated Robert Placek, CEO and Chairman of Wegener Corporation. "We value the industry and our iPump 6420 was designed specifically to meet the needs of audio broadcasters with automated affidavit creation and central-casting capabilities for generating local broadcasts from a common transmission."

"The iPump 6420 is the latest product in WEGENER's extensive iPump product line for enabling store-forward networks," stated Ned Mountain, President of WEGENER. "The product seamlessly links into our Compel-enabled networks for consistent command and control of the network from a central location. The technology is particularly well-suited to radio broadcasting where short and long form programming is frequently distributed around the country for local broadcasts from a central location."

WEGENER's MediaPlan(R) and COMPEL(R) provide end-to-end content management of live and digital media files. MediaPlan Content Management system tracks, combines, automates distribution and archives digital files as digital assets. Digital asset management forms the basis of digital work flows to streamline operational processes and increase opportunities to re-purpose content.

WEGENER's iPump 6420 Media Server is for central casting to radio broadcasters' affiliates -- combining the efficiencies of large network operations with the customized listening experiences offered at the local level. Its next generation architecture integrates file-based program distribution with live programming, seamlessly blending audio outputs through the use of audio fades, mixes and pre-positioned station liners. Listening to the industry, WEGENER also integrated technology to digitize the bookkeeping of advertisement plays.

The order was booked in WEGENER's first quarter fiscal 2006 and will be shipped in WEGENER's third quarter.
