 WSI Corporation has announced that it is developing a system that will enable aircraft to receive WSI's leading aviation weather information over Sirius Satellite Radio, and Sirius' audio programming for passengers. The new WSI InFlight system will be available over Sirius for aircraft flying in the Sirius satellite coverage area.

"We are very excited to be working with Sirius to enhance our WSI InFlight service," commented Jim Menard, General Manager of WSI's Aviation Business Group. "It is critical to WSI that we are able to satisfy the demanding needs of our aviation customers and their passengers, including access to the best weather data and audio programming available."

Menard continued, "The reliability offered by Sirius' satellite network augments WSI's continued commitment to build a robust network of proactive flight decision support tools for airlines, corporate flight departments and aviators world-wide."

The new WSI InFlight avionics will be a FAA certified system, engineered to be compatible with all existing WSI InFlight display devices and installations. The new system will feature a 'drop-in' replacement for the current AV001 antenna and a functionally compatible receiver to the current AV100 and AV200 product lines.

The WSI InFlight system uses satellite technology to continuously broadcast the most accurate, up-to-date weather and related mission critical information to any aircraft equipped with the WSI InFlight antenna and receiver.

Certified WSI InFlight systems compatible with Sirius Satellite Radio are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2006. Pricing and feature options will be set early in the second quarter.
