xG Technology (News - Alert), Inc., a developer of wireless communications technologies, recently announced that it has received an estimated $4.11 million in purchase orders from various rural telecommunications providers.

According to the officials from xG, the company has received orders for xMax cognitive radio networking equipment from Electra Telephone Company and Tatum Telephone Company (both based in Texas); Choctaw Telephone Company and MoKanDial Telephone Company (both based in Kansas); Haxtun Telephone Company (based in Colorado); and Walnut Hill Telephone Company (based in Arkansas) (together, the "Providers").

xMax is an end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) network solution that incorporates xG’s patented cognitive radio technologies to deliver the first fully mobile VoIP and broadband network that also supports any smartphone, laptop, tablet and other commercial Wi-Fi or IP-enabled devices via its xMod personal hotspot - while offering an excellent quality of service (QoS) and fixed, low latency.

xMax system addresses the numerous technical hurdles involved with mobile VoIP and data in today’s crowded airwaves. The result is an extremely efficient network solution that delivers high quality fixed and mobile wireless Internet services at a very low cost.

Commenting on the announcement, Larry Townes, chairman and CEO of Townes, said, "Echoing my earlier remarks on the NEFCOM contract, I look forward to the successful deployment of xG's technology by Townes operating companies and particularly anticipate the delivery of reasonably-priced broadband services in these important rural markets as a result."

George Schmitt, xG non-executive director, said, "We are very pleased to have received new orders from these Providers. This announcement provides further evidence that xMax offers a compelling wireless solution for independent telephone providers in their efforts to bring advanced, cost-effective wireless technology to unserved and underserved areas of the United States."

In related news, XGTechnology recently won two new patents on Self-Organizing Networks (SON). The company was granted these new patents for decreasing the cost related to the deployment and operation of wireless networks used in a variety of applications, including commercial cellular and rural broadband systems.
