    PHOENIX, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radyne ComStream (Nasdaq: RADN)
today announced that it has changed its name to Radyne Corporation and adopted a
simplified brand strategy. The Company will manufacture and sell satellite and
microwave communications equipment using the Radyne brand; market broadcast
encoders and decoders under its Tiernan brand; and sell high power amplifiers
under the recently acquired Xicom brand. Radyne will continue to trade on the
NASDAQ under the RADN symbol.

    "Our streamlined brand approach reflects the strong identity that each of

industries for feature sets, technology and customer acceptance."
