xG Technology, Inc.
Announces First Phase
of xMax Network Launch
xG Technology, Inc. ("xG"
or the "Company"), the Florida based communications technology
business, is pleased to announce that the first xMax base
station and antennas have been installed in its first
commercial market in Daytona Beach, Florida. This signifies
the formal launch of xG's initial United States network
roll-out. As part of the launch, successful wireless calls are
being made, and the Company is in the process of networking
additional towers and ramping up network capacity.
In these early stages of the launch, the Company is continuing
to pay particular attention to the quality of service for
voice, as it remains the Company's priority to ensure superior
call quality for the end user. The first soft launch customers
will begin populating the network shortly in anticipation of
the retail launch of the xMax service in Daytona Beach,
Florida.
xG Technology Inc. Chairman and CEO Rick Mooers added:
"I am extremely excited to see our technology being
successfully deployed in what is just our first vertical
market. What is most satisfying is the fact that this is
simply the first application in our first market. We still
have a world of opportunities open to us; however, we knew we
had to first focus on one market and one application. Given
the large market which will benefit from our technical
solutions which enable longer range, more power efficient
communications, we are now afforded the occasion to address
the multiple other opportunities, both wired and wireless,
which have presented themselves to us, domestically in the US
as well as internationally."

ABOUT XG TECHNOLOGY
XG TECHNOLOGY'S BUSINESS
Based in Florida, USA, xG Technology has developed innovative
technologies that the directors believe can change the
building blocks, capabilities and economics of the
communications industry. Its patented technologies can be
applied to almost any type of communication including voice,
data or video in wired or wireless form.
As its first vertical application, xG Technology has designed
a mobile VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) base station and
handset product line. Branded as xMax, these products are for
use by regional carriers (internet service providers,
competitive local exchange carriers and entrepreneurial
parties) seeking to deliver mobile Internet Protocol services
directly to consumers without using the incumbent circuit
switched or coaxial cable networks. Future releases of the
xMax product line will expand from mobile VoIP to offer
integrated video and data applications.
MARKET AND COMPETITION
There is a wide variety of wireless technologies in the
marketplace. The Directors believe that the key issue keeping
these technologies from achieving greater success is the price
versus performance of existing options. xMax changes this
price/performance relationship by enabling the delivery of
mobile IP services with less infrastructure using low-cost and
readily available unlicensed radio spectrum.
xG Technology believes that xMax is a viable solution for
mobile VoIP for a number of reasons:
- xMax is an IP solution rather than a circuit
switched solution; this is a prerequisite for handling the VoIP
application;
- xMax delivers high speed data in the order of Mbps
rather than Kbps, which is essential for supporting large numbers of
subscribers;
- xMax has a low latency physical layer, resulting
in high network efficiency;
- xMax's signal profile also allows for improved
range/coverage and better signal penetration, which is essential for
maintaining call session reliability; and
- although this feature is not central to the VoIP
application itself, xG Flash Signal's ability to
deliver wireless signals with far less RF output power than conventional applications
means that wireless VoIP handsets will show improved battery life over
other solutions
