xG® Technology, Inc. ("xG") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW) has announced that their IMT Vislink business is co-exhibiting with SpacePath at AfricaCom (Hall 4, Stand F21).

IMT Vislink's MSAT-120 satellite video and data terminal.

The Advent MSAT-120 is a highly portable, lightweight, tri-band satellite terminal that can be set up anywhere to provide secure and non-secure data and video transmission in as little as five minutes. The terminal supports X-, Ku- and Ka-band configurations ensuring worldwide coverage is available at all times. Available with a 65, 90 or 120 cm. reflector, the system is designed for rapid deployment in hostile environments and can be used with mains power or battery operation.
 
Incorporated into the Advent MSAT-120 terminal, SpacePath's 60W 13.75-14.50GHz SSPA will be demonstrated at the show. Also, SpacePath will be launching a new outdoor 12W 13.75-14.50GHz Fanless SSPB. Having no fans in the construction of the product, the new fanless SSPB increases the long-term reliability of the unit and minimizes any need for regular maintenance. SpacePath's range of high-power and low-power solid state power amplifiers, which include uplink bands like C-, Ku-, DBS and Ka- will be on display as well.
