Abstract: 
 This paper considers a hyperbolic system with discontinuous coefficients
 in a bounded, open, connected set with smooth boundary and controlled
 through the Robin boundary condition.
 Uniform stabilization of the solutions are established.
 Exact boundary controllability is obtained through the Russell's
 "Controllability via Stabilizability" principle.
