Nautel's First Forum @ the Factory for Broadcasters A Success!

Hackett's Cove, Nova Scotia, July 10, 2003 - On June 20th, 2003, Nautel Limited opened its doors to broadcast industry vendors and Atlantic Canadian broadcast engineers for the first Nautel Forum @ the Factory. The forum, attended by 25 area broadcast engineers, was a rare opportunity for broadcasters and vendors to meet and exchange ideas on the present state and future of radio broadcast equipment.

"It's been a wonderful day. This forum has provided two things. We have learned a lot and have been given the chance to communicate with Nautel staff and each other" said David Morrison of Morcom Technical Services.

The full day forum featured interactive presentations and live, hands-on product demonstrations from the participating vendors, including Audio Precision, Belar and Omnia Audio.

Demonstrations held at the forum included the latest in HD Radio, FM and AM IBOC technology, using Nautel's solid-state broadcast transmitters. Belar offered a sampling of their modulation monitoring products, while Omnia showcased their audio processing gear, and Audio Precision discussed the latest in electronic test equipment.

"We were very pleased with the outcome," remarked Scott Campbell, President and CEO of Nautel. "Our goal is to include field engineers in the product development process, and the forum has helped to achieve that goal". Campbell also indicated that the forum would likely be a recurring event, and may be expanded to include other geographical regions.
