LAS VEGAS, April 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- xG® Technology,
Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW) a leading provider of
wireless video solutions to broadcast, law enforcement and defense
markets, and private mobile broadband networks for critical
communications, announced that its Integrated Microwave
Technologies ("IMT") business will introduce the Nulinx-IP
Compact, a self-contained point-to-point, bi-directional
microwave link, at the IMT/Vislink booth at NAB 2017
(Booth C8008).
The Nulinx-IP Compact supports current ATSC IP transport
standards and is a highly mobile version of IMT's Nulinx-IP Flex.
This powerful microwave radio is available as an easy-to-install
package that brings the high reliability and scalability of
carrier-grade microwave to broadcasters.
George Schmitt, Executive Chairman
and CEO of xG Technology, said, "The Nulinx-IP Compact continues
IMT's tradition of incorporating future-proof technologies into
their products. NAB 2017 is the perfect venue to unveil this highly
customer-focused solution."
"With the FCC Broadcast Spectrum Repack currently underway, IMT
looks forward to providing the Nulinx-IP Compact to our customers
for added efficiency," says John Payne
IV, president of IMT USA.
"This new ATSC 3.0-supported technology underscores our dedication
to assisting broadcasters with their transition path from ASI to IP
video transport."
Available as an all-indoor or split system on any licensed or
unlicensed band from 5.8 through 42 GHz, IMT's Nulinx-IP Compact
has the flexibility and expandability to grow with the user's
needs. The Nulinx-IP Compact supports data rates as high as 600
Mbps in a 30 MHz Part 101 channel using a single set of antennas,
and as high as 1200 Mbps using MIMO technology. It operates with as
little as 75 MHz transmit/receive frequency spacing and can use
traditional Part 74 (BAS) and Part 101 (Fixed Microwave Service)
microwave channels.
Nulinx-IP Compact consists of a rugged outdoor unit and a power
over Ethernet (PoE) injector. Legacy ASI traffic is supported
through a special transparent ASI to IP multiplexer that does not
require PID remapping, transporting up to four ASI streams in each
direction.
As auxiliary spectrum becomes increasingly scarce, making
maximum use of available channel space is essential. The Nulinx-IP
Compact offers adaptive modulation constellations up to 2048 QAM,
allowing for more bits to move in the same amount of spectrum. For
additional efficiency, adaptive modulation nearly eliminates
outages when atmospheric conditions, such as heavy rain, do not
support the highest data rates. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
controls ensure that essential program traffic continues to flow.
Header de-duplication and other built-in data compression
techniques also offer greater throughput in the same spectrum
space.
In addition to providing radio hardware, IMT provides full
system design and planning, and offers installation and
commissioning services. As broadcasters move from ASI- to IP-based
video transport, IMT helps to support today's hybrid network
requirements and provides a simple transition path for microwave
modernization.

and STL modernization challenges, visit IMT and Vislink at NAB 2017
