Harris Corporation to Showcase "Radio Station of the Future" withInternet Broadcasting Capabilities at NAB Radio Show

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 2000 -- The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has announced that it will team with Harris Corporation to construct a fully functional "Radio Station of the Future," showcasing Internet broadcasting technology, at the NAB Radio Show to be held September 20-23 in San Francisco.

The exhibit, to be located in the main lobby of the upper level of the Moscone Center convention hall, will serve as a focal point of the show. It will feature several new, professional-grade webcasting products from Harris, integrated by a Harris engineering team, as well as a display of the latest Internet broadcasting technology available from other exhibitors. The purpose, according to Gene Sanders, director of exhibit sales and service at NAB, is to familiarize radio station personnel with currently available technology that can help them thrive in the new world of radio on the web.

"Traditional broadcasters are looking at a whole new set of challenges and opportunities than they were just a few years ago," says Sanders. "Internet radio is a huge, developing market, ready to be explored and exploited, and more companies are getting into it. But it requires new tools, new operating models, and new ways of thinking. We wanted to introduce our broadcasters to what an I-radio studio might look like, and we chose to work with Harris, which is one of the leaders in the broadcasting business, with the ability and wherewithal to make this happen."

Harris will assemble and integrate a complete, webcasting studio, featuring a series of products that can fit seamlessly with a station's existing broadcast equipment, while making it easy for them to add Internet radio capabilities. These include a Harris Pacific Integrit-E Digital e-source Mixing Console; Harris Pacific Ether OR customizable studio furniture, ideal for webcasting or traditional studio facilities; and ENCOde! Streaming Web Encoder software, which, in conjunction with an ENCO DADPRO 32 digital hard drive system, can encode audio output into streaming data for a web server.

Harris' display of studio backbone products will be complemented by a closed-circuit feed of presentations by other webcasting and dot.com companies exhibiting at the NAB Radio Show. Viewers will get a preview of much of the latest webcasting hardware, software and communications devices, which they can then research more fully at exhibitor booths.

"With the increasing interest in webcasting, Harris has committed significant resources to developing a solution for both traditional radio stations and others who want to explore the new revenue streams the Internet offers," says Jim Hauptstueck, manager of digital audio products at Harris. "We certainly appreciate the opportunity to show off our webcasting package in partnership with NAB and other exhibitors."

The NAB represents America's radio and television stations.
