xG Technology To Showcase Innovative Private Broadband Wireless Network Solution For Public Safety Communications At APCO 2014 Event

Sarasota, FL /PRNewswire/ - xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, will showcase the xMax System, a private broadband wireless network solution that features patented cognitive radio network technology, at the 80th annual APCO International Conference and Expo to be held August 3-6, 2014 in New Orleans, LA. With over 5,000 attendees and exhibitors, APCO's Conference & Expo is the largest gathering of public safety communications professionals in the industry.

The xMax System is a first-of-its-kind wireless mobile broadband network that can be rapidly deployed in any environment to provide voice, video, and data communications when traditional infrastructure is compromised due to natural or manmade disasters. Once the xMax System is deployed, any commercial device with WiFi connectivity, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, can be connected to the network. This flexibility provides emergency management leaders with unmatched command and control capabilities.

According to Tim Moynihan, Vice President of Sales at xG Technology, the challenges that emergency response teams face after a disaster often put lives and property at risk. "Superstorm Sandy in 2012 knocked out 25% of the cellular towers in ten states, flooded dozens of communications centers, and wiped out power for weeks in some parts of the northeast," Moynihan said. "The xMax system is ideal for these kinds of situations," he added, "since it is mobile and portable, completely self-contained, and enables emergency response teams to establish a private wireless network in about two hours."

xG Technology will be located in booth 1361 during the show. In addition to presenting its products, xG will be exhibiting a comprehensive, rapid-response mobile communications vehicle on the show floor. The expo will be open Monday, August 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday, August 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
