xG Technology, Inc., 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 orders valued at approximately $200,000 for HD (high-definition) airborne video downlink system (AVDS) equipment from a county law enforcement agency located in Northern California. The AVDS equipment extends the efficacy of tactical operations by leveraging police airborne units, with the added benefit of interoperability and compatibility with equipment from neighboring agencies. There is also the potential of follow-on orders for additional AVDS equipment from the client as it extends and upgrades its system.
The IMT Vislink AVDS comprises an integrated suite of downlink transmitters, receivers and antennas that capture real-time, reliable high-definition video from helicopters and other aircraft for display at emergency operation centers, mobile command units and directly to smart phones over cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Providing ground-based personnel an immediate, clear and reliable picture of what is being viewed from above allows faster and more accurate decision making in critical situations, enhancing the safety of the public and law enforcement personnel.
“IMT Vislink solutions are the premier choice among public safety agencies seeking to upgrade their surveillance equipment to real-time, high-definition digital video systems,” says John Procacci, vice president of sales for IMT. “Our solutions are renowned for their reliability, robustness and seamless integration, providing ground-based personnel a strategic and tactical overview of their missions. The impressive AVDS solution wins we have recorded are playing a key role in our continued success in law enforcement, public safety and defense markets.”
