SARASOTA, Fla.-XG Technology L.L.C. announced it hired the London office of Credit Suisse as a strategic adviser as the company prepares to launch its xMAX technology.
The company says xMAX is a modulation and encoding technology that improves the transmission of radio-frequency signals in both wired and wireless environments, which gives carriers the ability to transmit high-speed data over greater distances using ultra-low RF power output levels.
In November, the company held its first public demonstration of xMAX technology for media and investors in Ft. Lauderdale. In that demonstration, an xMAX-equipped transmitter broadcast a 3.67-Megabit-per-second signal more than 18 miles using only 35 milliwatts of RF output power. XG said the results showed the xMAX signal meets both conducted power and conducted bandwidth requirements for operation within the ISM 900 MHz unlicensed band.
The FCC recently approved the equipment used in the November demonstration.
“While these test results formally confirm what we already knew, it nevertheless is a very important step in our path to market,” said Roger Branton, chief operating officer of xG. “Our equipment can transmit high data rates over long range at low power-a perfect solution for broadband deployment.”
The company said it chose Credit Suisse because if the firm’s global reach.
Although the company has not announced any commercial deals, xG said xMAX products will be ready for market by summer.
