WGNR Wegener Corp (PK)

Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR) (PINKSHEETS: WGNR), a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced equipment orders and releases for two media networks.

WEGENER received an order from Microspace for 100 Unity® 552 enterprise media receivers to support an expansion of a global digital signage network. Microspace provides professional digital signage network management services for a global retailer. Utilizing WEGENER Compel® network control, in conjunction with WEGENER receive equipment, Microspace has expanded the network footprint to support close to 500 stores around the world. The order was received and will ship during Wegener's fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

"WEGENER's media distribution solutions offer clients, particularly those with more than 100 sites, a simple and robust management system," stated Troy Woodbury, President and CEO of Wegener Corporation. "The Compel control system is optimized for professional business networks to support multiple clients and applications simultaneously."

The Unity 552 is WEGENER's enterprise media receiver for live, HD video broadcasts over satellite. Compel network control systems offer flexibility to manage, schedule, distribute and control playout of media content to WEGENER receivers. It allows operators to tightly control end-user sites by sending commands to individual or groups of receivers to configure video, audio, data outputs, or switch to specific satellite transponders.

In addition, WEGENER released an order release for 200+ WEGENER iPump 562 media servers and a non-redundant Compel 2 network control system. The units will be used by an international customer managing a governmental media network. In this configuration, the WEGENER equipment is capable of supporting live and file-based video applications, such as digital signage and regionalized video insertions.

WEGENER received the releases, from a previous booked blanket order, during the third quarter and shipped a portion of the equipment against its existing order backlog during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The balance of the order release will ship during Wegener's fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 which ends August 31, 2012.
