Mountain, President and COO of WEGENER. “At SATCON, we will be demonstrating WEGENER’s bandwidth savings strategies for commercial and private networks, such as seamless integration of file-based broadcasting, DVB-S2 and MPEG-4 technologies. We will also promote the versatility of COMPEL, our powerful control system to support multiple applications and networks simultaneously.”
