AAFES upgrades digital signage network
August 10, 2008
DULUTH, Ga. — Wegener Corp., a provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, announced that the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), which operates retail outlets that provide goods and services to U.S. military personnel and their families, recently upgraded its Wegener COMPEL network control system.
COMPEL enables AAFES to deliver addressable digital HD video, SD video, and audio content to satellite receivers at over 100 retail outlets, including stores, filling stations, food courts, barbershops and concession stands located on military bases across the U.S. and abroad.
AAFES has continually expanded and upgraded its private audio/video network, which has been based upon WEGENER equipment since the U.S. military established it in 1994. AAFES delivers three program services: Exchange Television (EXTV), Business Television (BTV) and the AAFES Radio Network (ARN).
EXTV is a digital signage service, comprised of promotional and consumer information, music videos, movie trailers, and advertising, which enhance the retail experience and help sell high-definition televisions in the stores. BTV provides SD video programming for distance training of back-office retail personnel. ARN provides two ad-supported radio channels that pipe music into the stores.
