xG Technology forms advisory board

SARASOTA, USA: xG Technology Inc., the developer of smart radio technology that improves utilization of the nation’s airwaves, is forming an Advisory Board of distinguished experts to help guide the company as it deploys its current and future all-IP technologies.

“We have developed a rich body of patented innovations that can improve digital communications in a wide variety of applications,” said Chris Whiteley, director of business development, who will chair the new panel. “xG is seeking to guide the commercialization of its intellectual property by calling on esteemed individuals with decades of experience from numerous industry sectors.”

The initial vertical application of xG’s work is the world’s first mobile VoIP and broadband network. Called xMax, the system is now up and operating as a 30 square mile demonstration network in Ft. Lauderdale. xMax recently received an Internet Telephony Magazine 2009 Product of the Year Award.

xMax is the product of xG Technology's extensive R&D activity, a $100 million international effort that involves companies in the US, Europe and Asia. xG's patent portfolio, which includes over 50 US 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 consumers.
