AUSTIN, TX, AUGUST 1, 2018 – xG® Technology, Inc. (“xG”) (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), whose brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video communications in the broadcast, law enforcement and defense markets, announced today that IMT and Vislink will be demonstrating its newsnet ecosystem live at this year’s TAB (Texas Association of Broadcasters) show. IMT Vislink will be exhibiting in Booth #116. Also on display will be IMT Vislink’s range of wireless camera transmitters, including the HCAM 4k/UHD/HDR, MicroLite 2, and IMTDragonFly, as well as the IPLink digital microwave radio system.
IMT and Vislink will host a live, fully operational demonstration of how the newsnet technological ecosystem enables IP-based workflow solutions.

With our solutions, broadcasters can collect and deliver secure, high-quality video for live news, sporting, entertainment events and do things that were never thought possible in the field.”
