Wegener Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR) has announced that Educational Media Foundation has ordered 600 DVB-S2 tuner cards to upgrade their currently deployed WEGENER Unity 4600 satellite receivers to the latest high efficiency satellite modulation. Based in Rocklin, California, Educational Media Foundation is a not-for-profit company that operates the K-LOVE and Air 1 radio networks. Educational Media Foundation currently deploys WEGENER Unity 4600 satellite receivers, iPump 6400, and iPump 6420 media servers for live and file-based radio broadcasts. Educational Media Foundation's central operation hub uses WEGENER’s COMPEL network control and MediaPlan® Content Management systems to control, schedule and distribute its highly targeted programming, promotions and advertising content. Educational Media Foundation had been using a terrestrial connection to monitor WEGENER satellite receivers and media players. The company plans to eliminate that terrestrial link by launching a VSAT low-data wide area network (WAN) that will be used for transmit and back haul operations between affiliates and Educational Media Foundation’s central operation hub. As part of that VSAT launch, Educational Media Foundation is switching its entire satellite network to DVB-S2 modulation. DVB-S2 modulation is a newer, standards-based, satellite modulation scheme offering significant performance gains over DVB-S modulation. The company expects to achieve approximately 20-30 percent in operational cost savings.
