GTNR news.... Gentner to Provide Paxson Communications with Additional RFM Equipment for Expansion, Upgrade of PAX TV Network SALT LAKE CITY, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentner Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: GTNR) today announced that it has been chosen by Paxson Communications Corporation (Amex: PAX) to provide additional remote facilities management (RFM) equipment for the continued expansion and upgrade of the PAX TV network of television stations. Gentner's GSC3000 RFM systems were installed in initial PAX TV transmitter locations in September and October of 1998. "We have been extremely pleased with the results of the GSC3000," said Mark Rapson, TV director of engineering for Paxson. "It has given our engineers complete control over multiple transmitters from a central location, saving us both time and money." "It is great to see PAX TV experiencing such tremendous growth in its first year of operation," said Steve Olsen, RFM division head for Gentner. "We are proud that such an influential player in the broadcast industry has recognized the benefits that the GSC3000 offers in the area of remote monitoring and control." The GSC3000 literally functions as an on-site engineer as it can be easily programmed to identify and evaluate any situation that may arise at a remote location. What sets the GSC3000 apart from the competition is that it is also capable of taking whatever corrective action is necessary and then communicating alarms and transmitter site condition to the engineer by phone, pager or data transfer. The GSC3000 is fully customizable and will operate independently of any other device. Paxson is the largest owner and operator of television properties in the United States. Its broadcast television distribution is now comprised of more than 100 stations. PAX TV is a family-oriented broadcast television network that will provide programming for its current broadcast television stations, other affiliated broadcast TV stations and cable systems as well as satellite TV partners. Gentner Communications Corporation (http://www.gentner.com) provides technology, service, and educational solutions for U.S. and international communications markets. The company has a wide product and service mix featuring remote facilities management systems, conferencing products, and a nationwide conference calling service.
