xG Technology Presents Ways to Improve Public Safety Communications And Save Money for State and Local Governments
LAS VEGAS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Yesterday at the International Wireless Communications Expo and
Conference, xG Technology presented developments for improving public
safety communications using advances in cognitive radio. The cognitive
radio network the company is currently operating in Ft. Lauderdale
stands to address some of the public safety community's most pressing
issues. It frees up spectrum, combines voice and data on single Internet
Protocol network, is fully mobile and uses unlicensed spectrum to save
money on operating cost.
xG Technology, Inc. is the developer of smart radio technology that
improves utilization of the nation's airwaves. The company's director of
business development, Chris Whiteley, presented concepts for improving
public safety communications at a panel titled, "Next Generation
Broadband Wireless Architecture." The IWCE conference includes a wide
spectrum of wireless interests, but is heavily weighted towards public
safety.
Whiteley stressed the importance of unlicensed spectrum and remarked
that it would play a key role in stimulating innovation. The chairman of
the Federal Communications Commission recently stressed the need for
making more spectrum available. Last month xG made presentations to the
FCC and the House of Representatives staff on technical advancements
that improve the utilization of unlicensed spectrum. xG's xMax mobile
VoIP and broadband technology, which recently received an Internet
Telephony Magazine 2009 Product of the Year Award, represents an
example of such innovation.
xMax is the product of xG Technology's extensive R&D activity, a $100
million international effort that involves companies in the U.S., Europe
and Asia. xG's patent portfolio, which includes over 50 U.S. and more
than 100 international patents and pending patent applications, has been
developed with the goal of generating lower-cost communications.
xMax networks can be deployed at significantly lower costs than existing
wireless technologies, which opens the door to new competition, enhanced
service options, and lower costs for public safety agencies.
Accredited journalists, published telecom analysts, and prospective
partners are invited to experience this new technology for themselves.
xG has deployed a pilot xMax mobile VoIP network in the Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida area where individuals can experience the excellent call quality
of the xMax platform at highway speeds.
