SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA ORDERS PRODUCTS FROM WEGENER TO SUPPORT DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR CABLE HEADENDS

(May 23, 2003) – Duluth, Georgia – WEGENER Corporation (NASDAQ: WGNR) today announced Scientific-Atlanta (NYSE: SFA) has placed an order with Wegener to provide private label digital video TV products to add to the Scientific-Atlanta portfolio of headend solutions sold through Scientific-Atlanta’s distribution channels to cable operators in the United States and Canada.

The new products are intended to reduce the cost and enable the delivery of off-air digital broadcasts over a cable network. The first of these products will receive 8VSB, over-the-air digital HD (High Definition) or SD (Standard Definition) TV broadcast services and launch these services onto a traditional cable television network. Scientific-Atlanta initially plans to introduce two versions of this new product. The basic demodulator will provide demodulation of 8VSB broadcast television services to provide an ASI output. The more advanced version will also include a built-in multiplex feature to allow the combining of two 8VSB broadcast signals into a single 38Mbps ASI output for injection into 256 QAM cable applications. These products are expected to ship by mid-summer and will be economically priced versus comparable products.

“Digital TV, especially HDTV is positioned to be a key driver of growth in the cable industry and we’re excited to be working with Scientific-Atlanta to accelerate the availability of cost-effective, state-of-the-art HDTV off-air products, ” said WEGENER Executive Vice President Ned Mountain. “We expect our off-air HDTV signal processing solution to be the first of many new products that will enhance cable operators’ ability to deliver HD services.”

“WEGENER’s off-air HD signal processing solution is a good fit with our current HDTV platform and will help us deliver additional value to our customers,” said John Morrow, vice president and general manager of headend systems at Scientific-Atlanta. “We look forward to further working with WEGENER’s technology to bring innovative, cost-effective digital video products to market that will enhance the consumer’s digital cable experience."
