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.”
About xG Technology Pioneering
innovation in telecommunications research, xG Technology has
developed xMax—a groundbreaking radio frequency modulation and
encoding technology that enables faster, farther, and cheaper
communications. xMax technology takes high-speed
communications “beyond broadband” and is suitable for both
wired and wireless networks. Privately held, xG Technology is
based in Sarasota, Florida (USA). For additional information
