Vislink (NASDAQ: VISL) (“the Company”), the global technology
leader in the collection, delivery and management of high quality,
live video and associated data, today announced its latest contract
in the Middle East with Asharq News, a Pan Arab 24/7 television
network and dedicated digital platform, that provides

satellite antennas to Asharq News in order to connect its regional
news centers together to feed economic markets in Riyad, Cairo, Abu
Dhabi and key Arab capitals with low latency financial news.

continuing our expansion in the Middle East and supporting the
media, public safety, defense and other sectors in the region that
rely on our communications equipment to deliver low latency signals
in extreme environments.”

lightweight and highly portable. The antennas enable broadcast
teams to arrive at the scene, deploy equipment and get up and
running in as little as five minutes. Whether individuals are
reporting live or collecting footage for upcoming news, the system
allows for rapid deployment in extreme environments.

- X, Ku, Ka Frequency Bands

Partnering with Asharq News—the Middle East’s
first economic- and financial-focused news channel—is a strategic
order for Vislink. For over 30 years, the Company has supplied
