LAWRENCE, PA, LAS VEGAS, NV, USA and PARIS, FRANCE (April 7, 2010) - Axcera, a leading manufacturer and integrator of best-of-breed technology for the television broadcast, and mobile media industries, and Expway, the leading Electronic Service Guide (ESG) vendor for ATSC-M/H Mobile DTV will demonstrate live end-to-end system at the NAB trade show, April 12th through April 15th, at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The solution integrates Axcera's Mobile DTV pre-processer/multiplexer, digital modulator and comprehensive line of transmitters with Expway's channel signaling and Electronic Service Guide, FastESG™.

The demonstration will showcase advanced ESG features such as interactive voting, interstitial advertising, banners and more. Visitors to Axcera's booth in the ATSC Mobile DTV Pavilion will be able to view the ATSC Mobile DTV demonstration and these features displayed on two different receivers: On a notebook and a mobile handheld receiver.

"The Expway and Axcera strategic partnership is a good example how two separate companies together can make better business than solely on their own: Axcera has a proven track record of being able to work with various transmitter manufacturers, which ensures Expway a better foot-hold in the US market. And as Expway's FastESG™ provides the mutual customers with a business model, advertising or subscription based, this means more sustainable and long-term business for all parties involved." comments Thierry Sergent, the CEO of Expway.

"Integrating Expway's Electronic Service Guide with Axcera's ATSC Mobile DTV transmission systems provides broadcasters with a solution that can be implemented today. We are also pleased to demonstrate this cutting edge transmission solution to NAB 2010 attendees, allowing them to experience the technology first hand." said David Neff, President of Axcera.
