SARASOTA, Fla., June 22, 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
IMT Vislink business has received an order with an approximate
value of $100,000 order from a
prominent state police organization located in the Mid-Atlantic
region ("the Agency") for an Airborne Video Downlink System
("AVDS"). The order, received from a new customer, is the most
recent in a number of opportunities closed by IMT Vislink around
the country for such systems.
The IMT Vislink AVDS will provide aerial support for police
ground units on matters relating to public and officer safety,
including tactical responses to critical incidents, assistance in
disaster response, search and rescue operations, and surveillance
functions.
The IMT Vislink system will serve as a replacement for a legacy
system that suffered from limited range, unreliability and poor
video resolution. By contrast, IMT Vislink equipment enables the
transmission of HD real-time footage captured from airborne assets
to multiple receive sites, allowing the sharing crystal-clear
images and providing ground-based units with live pictures of
exactly what is happening on the ground. A key feature of the IMT
Vislink solution is interoperability with the systems of police
forces in neighboring territories, which enhances joint policing
operations.
"This new client order is our latest engagement with federal,
state and local law enforcement entities across the country seeking
to leverage video intelligence captured from their aerial assets,"
John Payne IV, President of IMT
USA. The IMT Vislink AVDS extends
the efficacy of tactical operations by tightening integration with
police airborne units. The heightened level of situational
awareness our systems deliver mean faster and more accurate
decision making on the ground. We look forward to working with this
client to maximize their use of the system."
A fully deployed IMT Vislink AVDS solution encompasses a fully
integrated suite of components that includes the following
equipment:
- lightweight, full-featured HD video downlink transmitters
installed with access controllers in the aerial units;
- antenna systems strategically located around the desired
coverage area;
- IP diversity aggregators that provide seamless switching and
support both central receive and portable applications;
- Portable and handheld viewing devices for use on command
vehicles
