LAS VEGAS, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- xG®
Technology, Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a leading
provider of wireless video solutions for the broadcast, law
enforcement and defense markets, and private mobile broadband
networks for critical communications, announces that its IMT
Vislink business has been selected to present at the Broadcast
Engineering and Information Technology Conference (BEITC) at
this year's 2018 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The
session, titled "Bringing Studio Workflows to the Field:
Leveraging Licensed Broadcast Spectrum Assets," will take place on
April 10th from
11:00AM - 11:20AM (PST) in the
North Hall Meeting Room (N255).
"While the Internet, IP technology and bonded cellular networks
have radically and positively changed the way ENG is performed, too
often broadcasters are connecting field and studio via unsecured,
at-will broadband infrastructures they do not have control over,"
says John Payne IV, president of IMT
USA. "In our presentation, we will
be discussing the shift in video technology toward acceptance, and
now the adoption, of IP-based links into ENG workflows. We will
also address the importance of preserving the security of the
licensed BAS 2GHz frequency band while maximizing its
efficiency."
Mr. Payne continued, "Our newsnet® solution is one of the
exciting approaches to meeting this challenge. Newsnet can
help deliver higher production values, lower operational costs,
workflow efficiency through doing more with less, and channel
resiliency provided by using BAS-licensed spectrum and the dynamic
allocation of bandwidth to the most important transmissions. We
have started to implement newsnet within select, prominent
broadcast stations, with very encouraging results."
Lowell Beckner, Newsnet Product Manager at IMT
Vislink, said, "Newsnet was designed for broadcasters
seeking to maximize coverage while fully leveraging studio assets
to deliver a more immersive experience for their viewers. It takes
advantage of newsroom automation systems by tying a live shot into
the rundown and letting it dictate the priorities, enabling
high-speed file transfers and access to the servers, intercom,
prompters and other features."
Newsnet incorporates a high-speed and reliable
bi-directional IP network that utilizes the exclusive and highly
coveted 2 GHz BAS-licensed spectrum, thereby increasing the number
of live ENG transmissions and workflows that can be performed from
the field. The newsnet system consists of one or more mobile
high-speed IP network nodes that easily connects with a base
station, typically located at existing ENG receive sites. Each
mobile node not only offers high-quality video transmission
capability, but also a private and reliable ingress point for other
IP-centric edge devices—allowing users to control their own private
high-speed IP licensed wireless network and ensuring that their
content newsgathering workflows and intellectual property are never
at risk.
At NAB 2018 (Booth C6008), IMT Vislink will be showcasing
a wide array of solutions alongside the newsnet ecosystem. A
variety of wireless camera transmitters will be on display
including the MicroLite 2 HD ultra-compact, ultra-low latency
wireless video transmitter and the HCAM HEVC 4K UHD Wireless Camera Transmitter.
