JONES SATELLITE NETWORKS GOES DIGITAL WITH WEGENER

Duluth, Ga. - December 12, 1995 - Wegener Communications announced it has received an order from Jones Satellite Networks for digital audio transmission products to convert its six in-house radio formats from analog to digital. Jones Satellite Networks (JSN) will purchase Wegener's Addressable DR96Q QPSK SCPC Digital Audio Receivers for the conversion. Jones Satellite Networks provides programming for more than 1,000 radio station affiliates.

This custom addressable DR96Q takes advantage of efficient QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keyed) modulation to reduce the bandwidth required for digital transmissions. The receiversm use the ISO-MPEG Layer 2 digital audio algorithm and feature extensive real-time diagnostics. Link analysis, data rates, acquisition history, current frequency assignments and much more are available using a terminal or PC running communications software. The JSN receivers will be controlled through Wegener's ANCS (Addressable Network Control System).

We believe that our superior network control technology enabledWegener to successfully bid for this project.
