WATERLOO, ON, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – Today Dejero Labs Inc. announced

LIVE Platform systems with mobile 4G wireless capability that transmit
live SD/HD video and transfer files remotely. The award-winning Dejero
LIVE Platform is the mobile video transmission solution with the
ability to broadcast live video across 4G/3G/WiFi wireless networks and
Ethernet direct. This innovative transmission solution also integrates
store and forward capabilities that upload clips, photos and files.

“WLS-TV is the dominant news organization in Chicago and our viewers
trust us to bring them breaking news first,” explained Kal Hassan, VP
and Director of Engineering of WLS-TV. “We chose the Dejero LIVE
Platform as an added asset for our newsgathering tool box. Our crews
