xG Technology Announces Successful Deployment of xMax Pilot Network for BayRICS in Three California Municipalities


xMax Being Evaluated for Purchase and Implementation by San Francisco Bay Area Emergency Management Organizations



SARASOTA, Fla. - xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of patented wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, announces that it has successfully completed the installation and deployment of a three-site pilot xMax broadband wireless network for the Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications Systems Authority ("BayRICS"). The deployment covers parts of the San Francisco Bay Area municipalities of Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton. The xMax solution is currently being evaluated for purchase and implementation by San Francisco Bay Area emergency management organizations.



Since the original announcement of the BayRICS deployment on Dec. 18, 2014, dozens of extensive demonstrations have been granted to California public safety stakeholders interested in experiencing the features of the xMax network in a live setting. As a result of these demonstrations, xMax is under consideration for purchase and deployment as a public safety broadband wireless solution by area municipal and emergency operations officials.



The pilot network covers approximately 60 square miles and is comprised of xMax networking equipment that includes compact access points and subscriber devices installed in both stationary locations as well as in specially-equipped vehicles to showcase on-the-move support. Among the applications being demonstrated by the network are PTT (push-to-talk), mobility, streaming video, real-time vehicle tracking, and web EOC (emergency operations center) command and control functions.



Barry Fraser, General Manager of BayRICS, said, "We want to evaluate xMax as both a primary wireless system for public safety voice, video and data, as well as a disaster-recovery network that complements FirstNet when it becomes available. Many of our member agencies are conducting tests right now to see whether xMax will meet the stringent capacity, coverage and functionality required by our first responders. The early results are encouraging, and I was also impressed with how quickly this technology can be deployed and configured."



George Schmitt, CEO and Board Chairman of xG Technology, said, "We appreciate the opportunity to showcase the xMax private mobile broadband wireless network to California public safety stakeholders, and we look forward to receiving orders to install our systems for public safety in the San Francisco Bay area. xMax offers a compelling answer to the needs of emergency communications operators and first responders by delivering a high-capacity, high-reliability, rapidly-deployable solution. In addition to supporting all the public safety devices and applications currently in use, xMax will provide compatibility and interoperability with the FirstNet public safety network when it is rolled out."
