XG Technology Inc (XGTI) Eyes Opportunity in First-Responder Market

July 29, 2014

James Woodyatt, President of XG Technology Inc (XGTI) says the company is currently targeting the first-responder market. He says President Obama signed an order requiring first responders to have fail-safe communications by 2016.

“This is a big problem because, if you think about it, fail-safe means that you must be able to bring communications capabilities with you, set them up and be operational really fast,” Woodyatt says. “So in the case of Hurricane Katrina, all of these wireless systems had cabinets at the base of their towers. Then, water covered all the cabinets and that was the end of that.”

Woodyatt says XG Technology’s xMax technology can be installed on top of ambulances, police cars and fire trucks to automatically provide communications to the first responders.

“There are not too many competitors that are able to offer a mobile voice, data and video system over unlicensed spectrum that will self-organize, at the moment,” Woodyatt says.
