USA: xG Technology Inc., the developer of a broad portfolio of wireless communications technologies, including cognitive radio networks, has received new purchase commitments, for $6,000,000 in total, from the following wireless solutions providers:

PMC Associates (based in Hazlet, New Jersey), Communications Marketing Southeast (based in Dallas, Georgia) and Mobile-One Communications (based in Venice, Florida) (together the "Providers"). These established Providers add to the growing ecosystem of industry participants that xG is assembling to bring xMax solutions to multiple vertical markets.

The orders, in aggregate, total a minimum of $6,000,000 for xMax cognitive radio networking equipment, including xMax wireless access points, xMSC mobile switching centers and xMod personal hotspots (capable of supporting existing smartphones, tablets and laptops). Fulfillment of these orders will enable the Providers to offer xMax wireless voice and advanced broadband equipment and services to their customers.

These purchase orders bring the total announced backlog of orders for xMax equipment and services to over $14.5 million and highlight the growing appeal of xG's technology in different business sectors.
