Comlab is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Established in 1984, the Quebec City-headquartered company started with an AM/FM/SSB training system designed to teach the principles of radio communications to technicians and engineers. That set the stage for a series of successful product lines, including the current third generation of Davicom Remote Site Management products, the Cortex and Axon/Neuro. 

Avid has entered into an agreement to acquire Wolftech Broadcast Solutions, the cloud-based multi-platform planning and news publishing production solutions provider. Avid says the strategic move is in line with its focus on transforming news, sports, and live production workflows. The acquisition will allow Avid to combine its digital-first, end-to-end media solution with Wolftech’s expertise in story-centric workflow management. The integration is intended to enable news organizations to rapidly deliver stories through multi-platform amplification, increasing efficiency and improving remote collaboration.
