XG Technology announced that its Vislink and IMT businesses have introduced the SatWare remote reporting computing platform to the North American market. SatWare is an embedded computing and routing system designed to provide enhanced capability and simplified use of broadcast equipment in the field, extending studio workflows and Internet Protocol (IP) communications across continents to portable terminals.

According to xG Technology, SatWare allows file-based workflows, data, and voice communications to be easily accessed by remote reporters over a Wi-Fi connection to a Vislink satellite terminal of their choice. The platform provides direct access to the local network for smartphones, tablets and laptops without the need for any client network configuration. A system navigation landing page provides quick access to the devices on the network, according to the company.

“[SatWare] provides broadcasters with an infrastructure that can deliver high quality video from different corners of the globe,” said George Schmitt, executive chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of xG Technology.
