xG Technology Hits New
Milestones
Full
Motion Video at Ultra Low Power; xMax Passes Key FCC
Compliance tests; Product Rollout Timelines Set
Sarasota, Florida (USA); February 2, 2006—xG®
Technology, Inc. today announced that it has met its ambitious
guidelines for xMaxTM technology, the company’s
innovative modulation and encoding technology that
dramatically improves transmission of radio frequency signals
in both wired and wireless environments. The result is the
ability to transmit high speed data over greater distances
using ultra low RF power output levels.
In
November, the company held its first public demonstration of
the xMax technology for media and investors in Ft. Lauderdale.
In that demonstration, an xMax equipped transmitter broadcast
a 3.67 Mbps signal more than 18 miles using only 35 milliwatts
of RF output power. This past week, the equipment used in that
demonstration underwent testing by an FCC authorized
laboratory. The equipment was found to be compliant with FCC
regulations Part 15.249 conducted test requirements. These
results showed the xMax signal to meet both conducted power
and conducted bandwidth requirements for operation within
the unlicensed 900 MHz band under Part 15 of the FCC's rules.
“While
these test results formally confirm what we already knew, it,
nevertheless, is a very important step in our path to market,”
said Roger Branton, chief operating officer. “Our equipment
can transmit high data rates over long range at low power—a
perfect solution for broadband deployment.”
In a
separate development, an xMax unit was used to transmit full
motion video a distance of 100 feet using only 300 nanowatts
of transmitted power. “By comparison, typical 802.11 WLAN
technology transmits up to 3 million times more power,” said
Joe Bobier, principal inventor of the xMax Technology. “Again,
this confirms one of the revolutionary aspects of xMax.”
Rick
Mooers, chief executive officer said that xMax products will
be ready for market by the end of the second quarter 2006.
Mooers
also announced that the London office of Credit Suisse has
been selected as xG Technology’s strategic advisor.
“Recognizing that this opportunity is not US-centric, we chose
Credit Suisse because they exercise global reach for their
clients,” said Mooers. “They recognized the first-of-the-kind,
industry changing aspects of xMax. As a global leader in
representing communication companies, Credit Suisse is a
perfect match.”
