Mystery Mobile VoIP Technology Available Next Month?
October 10, 2008
An almost decade-long effort to bring an unknown wireless broadband technology to the U.S. is set to bear fruit next month in Florida after XG Technology Inc. scored a $375 million infrastructure deal backed by a secretive Swiss billionaire. XG, which is listed on the AIM market in London, is pushing a low-power, long-range wireless technology called wMAX that they're pitching as a competitor to cellular and WiMAX networks. The goal is to roll out a VoIP service in South Florida this year and launch data and modem services in 2009.
