SARASOTA, Fla., June 21, 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 Vislink business is providing
wireless camera transmission capabilities to support the live
stream broadcast of the largest sailing event in the
world.
Vislink equipment has been deployed by Sales Cube GmbH
("Sales Cube"), Vislink's official reseller in Germany, at the Kiel Week Regatta (also
known as Kieler Woche), which
runs from June 17th to
June 25th, 2017. In
addition to being the largest sailing event in the world, Kiel Week
is the largest summer festival in northern Europe. Held in Kiel, Germany, it brings together close to 5,000
sailors, 2,000 ships, and approximately three million visitors from
around the world each year.
"IMT and Vislink solutions remain the trusted choice of
broadcast professionals for capturing unique views and transmitting
action from iconic events and locations," said George Schmitt, Executive Chairman and CEO of xG
Technology. "High-profile events like the renowned Kiel Week demand
the performance, range, reliability and flexibility that our
systems provide."
The project called for the deployment of a new
watercraft-based wireless transmission system to feed into the live
stream broadcast from the event. Sales Cube worked with Vislink to
specify an equipment list that would enable reliable ship-to-shore
live transmission of footage while minimizing power consumption and
payload.
Among the Vislink equipment being used is a next-generation,
highly customizable wireless camera transmission system capable of
supporting the dynamic action of live sporting events, as well a
suite of diversity receivers and decoders targeted at compact
wireless camera & microwave link use. Additional Vislink
components were incorporated to optimize the video transmission and
maintain image quality.
Martin Geritz, Head of Sales for
Sales Cube, said, "Sales Cube is a proud partner and reseller of
Vislink solutions and furthermore helps all customers with special
developments and integration, as well as onsite support if
required." Sales Cube specializes in the integration of
professional and innovative video transmission systems for media
and broadcast productions around the world. More information on
