Advanced Control System for iPump Media Servers

( April 1, 2004 ) - DULUTH, Georgia – WEGENER ® Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR ), an international supplier of satellite, cable and Internet Protocol (IP) equipment, today announced the release of MediaPlan ® Content Management (MediaPlan CM), its latest module for Compel ® Network Control System. MediaPlan CM provides advanced control of the iPump ™ Media Server to enable network operators to take full advantage of the capabilities of a store and forward network.

“Our iPump System is complete with the addition of MediaPlan CM,” states Robert Placek, President and CEO of WEGENER. “MediaPlan CM expands the control capabilities available in our Compel Network Control System to include the functions needed to run a store and forward network, such as playlist creation and scheduling.”

WEGENER's new MediaPlan System provides:

•  Tracking and rights management of content and other digital files when stored in the iPump Media Servers at the edge of the network, so network operators maintain control of the content throughout their networks.

•  Local management and advanced search of digital files to allow quick access to huge libraries of content and digital files.

•  Attachment of metadata to files, including matching of existing metadata templates, to allow descriptive and control parameters to be added to the digital files.

•  Delivery of the digital files to the iPump Media Servers utilizing patented Compel Network Control grouping functions for delivery to targeted users.

•  Advanced user permissioning to allow multiple users simultaneous access to the system with different views per client.

“Compel Network Control has always enabled our customers to control the receiver and decoder functions of WEGENER IRDs; now MediaPlan CM module combined with Compel enables our customers to additionally control the advanced Internet Protocol (IP) and Media Server functions that WEGENER iPump Media Servers offer,” says Ned Mountain , Executive Vice President of WEGENER.

WEGENER is demonstrating the full capabilities of MediaPlan CM at the National Association of Broadcasters ( NAB ) Convention in mid April in Las Vegas . The demonstration will include live control of an iPump network through MediaPlan CM.
