Wegener to Launch Compel II Network Control System

Posted on: Monday, 14 April 2008, 09:00 CDT

Wegener, a provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks, is planning to launch its next generation Compel II network control system.

Compel II retains the patented features of the Compel network control system while adding new features designed to enhance the user interface and simplify operations for dynamic media distribution.

According to the company, this control system has been streamlined by unifying many different screens and utilities within a single, web-based graphical user interface (GUI). Using the web browser access, operators can control live and file-based media distribution networks from any web-enabled remote location.

Built upon a scalable open architecture, Compel II claims to make it easier for network administrators to limit access of employees or affiliates to only those features and functions their jobs require. New set-up features are expected to allow administrators to create classes of users that designate each user's level of access. Upon log-in, users are identified by classification, and the GUI is automatically reconfigured.

Ned Mountain, president and COO of Wegener, said: "We designed the new features for Compel II based upon extensive customer feedback. These user-friendly features streamline the workflow, making it faster and easier for our customers to manage their networks and give permissioned access to their workers and contractors."
