Wegener Corporation announced equipment orders and releases for two media networks. WEGENER received an order from Microspace for 100 Unity(R) 552 enterprise media receivers to support an expansion of a global digital signage network. Utilizing WEGENER Compel(R) network control, in conjunction with WEGENER receive equipment, Microspace has expanded the network footprint to support close to 500 stores around the world.

The order was received and will ship during Wegener's fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The Unity 552 is WEGENER's enterprise media receiver for live, HD video broadcasts over satellite. Compel network control systems offer flexibility to manage, schedule, distribute and control playout of media content to WEGENER receivers.

It allows operators to tightly control end-user sites by sending commands to individual or groups of receivers to configure video, audio, data outputs, or switch to specific satellite transponders. In addition, WEGENER released an order release for 200+ WEGENER iPump 562 media servers and a non-redundant Compel 2 network control system. The units will be used by an international customer managing a governmental media network.

In this configuration, the WEGENER equipment is capable of supporting live and file-based video applications, such as digital signage and regionalized video insertions.
