WEGENER recently announced an order worth over $1 million for their iPump Solution to convert a broadcast television network to digital store-forward technology. “We are seeing real traction in our business, specifically with the iPump Media Server, and we sincerely believe we are on the right track for continued success,” stated Robert Placek, WEGENER CEO. “This recent order demonstrates the wide markets that our iPump Solution can serve, from private networks to broadcast television.” The order was booked in WEGENER’s second quarter with revenue spread over the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005.

“We are continuing development of products, such as our iPump 615 Media Decoder, SMD 515 Streaming Media Settop and the Nielsen NAVE IIC Encoder,” continued Mr. Placek. “We anticipate that these products will contribute to increased Wegener Corporation revenues and profitability for fiscal 2005 and beyond.”
