xG Technology, Inc.
xG’s xMax
VoIP Base Station Certified for Commercial End User
Deployment
xG
Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company"), the Florida based
communications technology business, is pleased to announce
that it has received a Grant of Equipment Authorization from
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its xMax
VoIP base station (FCC Identifier VEYXMAXBTS100). This grant
confirms that the Company’s xMax VoIP base station has been
certified to be fully compliant with FCC Rule Part 15C
regulations.
The FCC’s
equipment Authorization Program oversees the authorization
of equipment using the radio frequency spectrum. The xG base
station passed FCC authorized laboratory testing in June of
2007. The FCC studied the Company’s technology with keen
interest and met with xG staff in Washington DC to fully
understand the Company’s unique modulation technique. With
this grant of the equipment authorization the Company’s
network providers now have regulatory approval for end users
to populate the networks that the Company sells to its
carrier customers.
xG
Technology Inc. CTO Joe Bobier added:
“It is extremely gratifying to receive the FCCs approval
grant.
The certification validates our claims of
power, lack of interference, and most importantly that our
novel modulation technique complies with the FCC’s technical
standards”.
xG is a
registered trade mark of xG Technology, Inc. under US Trade
Mark Registration Number 3039835. xMax is a trademark of xG

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
