Report from Wireless Spectrum Expert Underscores xG Technology Mobile Broadband
Solution Benefits for Public Safety, Military and Commercial Applications

 

xMax Private Wireless Network Platform Delivers Interference Tolerance Superior
to Currently Available Communications Systems



Sarasota, Florida—August 17, 2015—xG Technology, Inc. (“xG” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, announced today a report that found its xMax private mobile broadband wireless networks deliver superior interference tolerance capabilities compared to current, commercially available communications systems. These capabilities enable xMax to provide enhanced data rates under interference conditions as well as capacity increases of up to three times over conventional wireless networks such as 802.11 (WiFi), with particular advantages for the public safety and military sectors.

 

The report, which can be viewed at this link, was prepared by Paul Kolodzy, PhD (bio follows), a renowned expert in technology development for advanced communications, networking, electronic warfare, and spectrum policy for government, commercial, and academic clients. Dr. Kolodzy is especially active in the study of interference mitigation with respect to its impact on wireless spectrum deployments.

 

Among the key findings of the report:

 

·The proliferation of wireless systems over the past 20 years has lead to very high densities of users, which is impacting the ability to cope with interference between devices;

·Users of commercial wireless systems (such as wireless bridges between buildings or fixed infrastructure; WISPS, wireless telemetry systems) are keenly aware of spectrum congestion and the impact of interference;

·The need for interference mitigation technology allows xMax to fill a niche within the communications marketplace that is becoming increasingly important, and will be growing over the next 15 years;

·xG interference suppression technology can provide significant advantages, particularly in environments associated with highly utilized unlicensed spectrum and adjacent channel TDD/FDD interference; and

·xMax provides a superior data rate capability to available military systems. These systems are struggling to keep up with the rapidly advancing technologies of consumer communications while providing capabilities that are robust to enemy jamming and infrastructure-free (without base stations, i.e., peer-to-peer).

 

Dr. Kolodzy said, “My assessment of xMax technology shows that it provides superior interference tolerance capabilities over current established consumer and commercial communications technology solutions such as 802.11 (WiFi). As such, xMax interference mitigation technology offers benefits in a number of industry sectors, particularly to users in public safety, and in the military marketplace, where the kind of interference tolerance as provided by xMax is an essential requirement to enabling robust performance and spectrum sharing.”

 

 

 

 

George Schmitt, CEO and Board Chairman of xG Technology, said, “This report from noted spectrum and wireless technology expert Paul Kolodzy reaffirms the advantages our interference mitigation technology has over conventional wireless systems. As the report states, the problem of interference is one that will continue to impact the quality of mobile communications, and this has serious consequences for those carrying out mission-essential endeavors, like first responders and military personnel. We are committed to advancing our technology foundation and extending our leadership in designing, developing and deploying wireless systems that can operate in the most challenging conditions and situations.”
