[SatBroadcasting™)Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR.PK) has received an order valued at more than $400,000 for Unity 552 satellite media receivers.

The receivers will be used within a private educational network to decode live video broadcasts around the world and to increase the number of sites transitioned to DVB-S2 satellite modulation. The Unity 552 is a high performance satellite receiver for private television networks. It supports DVB-S2 satellite modulation, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/h.264 video in standard and high definition formats. DVB-S2 modulation offers video broadcasters a wide range of choices to manage satellite service provider limitations, lower operational costs, increase services (when compared with DVB-S) or manage inclement weather. An operator can reduce distribution bandwidth needs of a typical transmission by 20 to 30 percent by switching from DVB-S to DVB-S2. An operator can also achieve 40 to 70 percent greater signal compression combining MPEG-4/h.264 video compression and DVB-S2 modulation (compared to MPEG-2 video compression and DVB-S satellite modulation). This order was booked and shipped during WEGENER’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
