WEGENER DEMONSTRATES LIVE FEED OF HDTV SIGNALS IN SAN ANTONIO

Duluth, GA -- June 7, 2002 -- For the first time, WEGENER (NASDAQ: WGNR) is demonstrating live carriage of off- air broadcast network signals using the DTV700 digital television signal processor at the SCTE trade show. At WEGENER's Booth #854, visitors can view two local broadcast network affiliates' high definition television (HDTV) signals multiplexed onto a single 6MHz channel for QAM modulation and delivery to cable subscribers. Signals from San Antonio NBC affiliate KMOL and from CBS affiliate KENS are being picked up by antenna feed from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, then processed and multiplexed by the DTV700 for live display on an HDTV monitor. The signal is being displayed using the new Pioneer Voyager 3511 HD high definition digital cable set-top box.

The DTV700 signal processor is WEGENER's low cost solution designed specifically for cable system delivery of off-air broadcast digital television signals to consumers with HDTV sets. Recent commitments to the FCC by the NCTA and the ten largest US MSOs (Multiple System Operators) to carry digital broadcast signals in major markets by January 1, 2003(1) have underscored the cable industry's immediate need for compact, low cost digital signal processing equipment. WEGENER's unique position as a quality manufacturer of products designed for special applications brings flexibility, cost- effectiveness and immediate availability to cable operators focused on providing optimal service to their early-adopting HDTV subscribers.

The WEGENER DTV700 features a built-in multiplexor for combining two 8VSB RF signals into a single 38 Mbps ASI output to feed the QAM modulator, for carriage on one 6MHz channel. It also accepts ASI inputs, so optical or microwave pickup options are easily accommodated. For 64 QAM systems, the built-in multiplexor allows combining one digital broadcast signal with another ASI source to fully utilize the available channel bandwidth. Its advanced PSIP processing feature provides the flexibility to modify or delete extraneous program elements from the stream (e.g., private data services), or to modify channel numbers. Any PID conflicts between multiplexed broadcast sources are automatically resolved. Control is accomplished by either the front panel or a simple browser interface.

Ned Mountain, Executive Vice President of WEGENER Communications, stated, "The DTV700 is by far the most flexible and cost-effective solution for cable systems carrying broadcast digital signals. Because it was designed specifically for digital broadcast processing, the DTV700 is not encumbered with the expense of additional functions that are often part of alternate solutions being used for this application. Yet, it is designed to allow for future enhancements and upgrades as the vision of terrestrial digital carriage on cable becomes more clear. We are taking orders now for July/August deliveries of the DTV700 processor."

The DTV700 is also on display at the SCTE trade show in both the Mega Hertz and Arris booths.
