PRESS RELEASE June 5, 2007

KWTV Ch 9 in Oklahoma City, a CBS affiliate TV station in Oklahoma, has become the second broadcaster in the U.S. to implement Thrane and Thrane, Explorer 527 auto tracking uplink technology primarily for severe weather chasing and spot news gathering. The new units allow KWTV storm chasers (Val Castor) and broadcast professionals to travel at up to 70 mph while sending live streaming video footage, store and forward footage and images back to the station for broadcast. The Explorer 527 system is expected to be state-of-the-art for many years to come because upgrades will come in the form of software. The Explorer 527 uses the new Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) owned by Inmarsat and currently streams at 128k. However, an anticipated software upgrade in 2008 will allow 256k streaming and fluid video while driving at highway speed. The systems were installed at KWTV-Ch9 by iPixCel, LLC of Oklahoma City on a turn-key basis, custom software. Capabilities include streaming, picture transmission, burst video, web portal and automated receive. This new software automates the streaming process and includes motion compensation capabilities in addition to fully automated store and forward video clip transmission while on the move.

This system revolutionizes the quality of video supplied by weather chasers and their coverage area according to Roger Fulton, VP of Marketing for iPixCel, LLC. iPixCel is a custom software development company and a Preferred Partner with Thrane and Thrane, the leading supplier of mobile satellite devices for the BGAN network. iPixCel is also an airtime reseller for Inmarsat and turn-key solutions provider for mobile video applications.
