VISLINK announces global partnership with
Fujitsu Frontech Media Solutions
Vislink plc, the global technology business specialising in secure communications for the news & entertainment, law enforcement & public safety, marine & energy and the related services markets, today announces that it has entered into a global partnership with Fujitsu Frontech Media Solutions, part of the Fujitsu Group.
The partnership will allow Vislink to integrate Fujitsu's market-leading technology into the Advent, Link and MRC systems for the transmission of high definition broadcast images by satellite, by terrestrial radio links or by IP connectivity. Fujitsu's strength in video compression combines naturally with Vislink's advanced modulation technologies and lightweight, compact electronics packages. Vislink will promote the integrated technology globally via its regional bases in the UK, USA, Dubai, South Africa and Singapore, and through its strong worldwide reseller network.
The agreement will enable Vislink to supply three ranges of Fujitsu high definition H.264 encoding and decoding systems into these important and growing markets.
Duncan Lewis, CEO, commented: "As the worldwide leader in secure microwave, satellite and wireless communication systems, it remains our priority to ensure Vislink's customers have solutions that offer the best available integrated technology on a cost efficient basis. This exciting partnership enables Vislink to maintain that vision."
