WEGENER and Salem Radio Network Completes SRN's iPump 6420 Upgrade Project
JOHNS CREEK, GA, Apr 13, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR) (PINKSHEETS: WGNR), a leading
provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution
networks worldwide, today announced Salem Radio Network (SRN) has
completed its infrastructure with WEGENER(R) network control and
satellite receiver equipment. Orders were placed and shipped during
WEGENER's fiscal year 2011.
The network control systems at SRN and Salem Music Network (SMN) runs
the Linux version of Compel(R) with advanced store/forward control
features for radio networks. The system retains features to control
and manage linear WEGENER Unity(R) satellite receivers. As previously
published, SRN is deploying WEGENER iPump(R) 6420 audio servers to
commercial affiliates in the Top 100 markets. The iPump 6420 can
process live satellite and file-based audio programming and output up
to three custom radio channels. The unit also supports relay closures
and GPI inputs for local traffic systems, as-run and status
reporting, and optional Internet file delivery.
"SRN's decision to continue utilizing a satellite receiver from
WEGENER is based on the iPump 6420's quality, functionality and
widespread industry use," said Greg Anderson, president of Salem
National, which includes SRN and SMN. "With over a decade of nearly
flawless service with the current WEGENER Unity receivers, SRN is
confident that WEGENER's new product will serve SRN and the Christian
radio community for many years to come."
SRN will continue to offer live radio broadcasts for affiliates using
WEGENER linear satellite receivers to access programming. Affiliates
using WEGENER iPump 6420 media servers will have access to the same
programming. During a phased rollout, SRN plans to offer new
file-based services to iPump 6420 affiliates.
SRN is a full-service satellite radio network based in Dallas, Texas.
It serves Christian-formatted and general market news/talk stations
through affiliate partnerships. SRN has become one of the fastest
growing full-service networks in the U.S., serving more than 2000
radio stations.
"WEGENER is excited to continue to work with SRN to upgrade their
radio network to include file-based technologies," stated Troy
Woodbury, President and CEO of Wegener Corporation. "It is an
opportunity to develop and implement powerful new broadcast
strategies."
WEGENER will exhibit at the 2012 NAB Show. WEGENER representative,
Thomas Bush (t.bush@wegener.com), will be available in booth #SU2519
to discuss WEGENER's broadcast radio solutions.
