NETIA Expands Presence in Singapore with Sales to Two Leading Radio Broadcasters

CLARET, France - March, 2006 - With the recent sales of its Radio-Assist 7.5 digital audio software program to two leading radio broadcasters in Singapore, NETIA (NAB Booth#N3208), a leading provider of software solutions for managing and broadcasting television and radio content, is rapidly expanding its presence in that country. Singapore Management University's SMU Campus Radio Station, as well as UnionWorks, which operates and manages two radio stations in Singapore, recently took delivery of the NETIA Radio-Assist 7.5 systems.

" The sales to Singapore Management University and UnionWorks demonstrate NETIA's increasing success in expanding into the East Asian market," said Xavier de Vynck, vice president, business development at NETIA. " They like our products be they are easy to use and implement and are "future-proof" in the sense that future upgrades to the systems are simple and cost-effective."

Singapore Management University (SMU)'s SMU Campus Radio, a student-run station, chose the Radio-Assist 7.5 system because it is a full turnkey radio automation solution that will facilitate the station's operations and make it feasible for any future upgrades to the system.

It is integrating Radio-Assist 7.5 into its operations to enhance the capabilities and quality of the recording of its programs. Using the Radio Assist 7.5, students will record, edit and tape its daily program, which will be broadcast and streamed over the SMU's intranet and public address system.

UnionWorks, a joint venture between NTUC Media and SPH Multimedia, operates and manages the WKRZ91.3 FM (English) and UFM 100.3FM (Chinese) radio stations in Singapore. It chose NETIA's Radio-Assist 7.5 because it needed a full turnkey solution for recording, editing, and exporting audio files within the same system, the ability to edit and playback while recording feeds, and the flexibility to export audio files in different formats.

UnionWorks will use the Radio-Assist 7.5 to log WKRZ91.3 FM and UFM 100.3FM's programs continuously. Each other's channel will be used to capture two different sources at different times. After digitalization of the feeds or while recording the feeds into the server, the technical departments will play back the audio file for monitoring purposes. The audio file will be edited in the MP3 format and can be exported upon request via email.

The Radio-Assist 7.5 range of digital audio software programs covers the entire operation of a radio station, from production to broadcast: including acquisition, sound file editing, commercial and music production, newsroom system, scheduling, multicasting, administration, and more.

At NAB2006, NETIA will be showcasing a number of new modules and features for the Radio-Assist 7.5 range, including a short message service module, new features for the AIR-DDO playout module, a statistics module, and the new Multitrack XT module.
