"Joining this new organization represents the end of a difficult financial period for Wegener Corporation and will renew the confidence of our customers, shareholders, employees, and our creditors," continued Mr. Woodbury. "We are working on major projects in Latin America and we believe real progress will be made in the domestic digital signage market during fiscal 2014. Strong improvements have been made in channel partners and digital signage product capability. We are encouraged by the opportunities in the future."

"The product portfolio of the combined companies will provide a powerful suite of capabilities for large-scale networks in radio broadcasting, business music, broadcast video, digital signage and IP-TV," stated Harris Liontas, President and CEO of Novra Technologies, Inc. "Wegener Corporation and Westport Research Associates, Inc. are not just simple acquisitions but a merger allowing for the creation of a solutions-based provider that will offer clients a broader scope of reliable products and services, strong network control systems, creative solutions to network communication issues, deeper access to engineering services and reliable cost effective end-to-end solutions."
