xG describes a low-power wireless VoIP plan
In April 2006, xG Technology said it expected commercial products based on its proprietary xMax wireless technology later that year.
What was announced or reported
The company outlined enterprise products followed by a consumer VoIP handset and claimed that its low-power approach could reduce the cost of base-station deployment. It also described plans for Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet support in the handset.
Context and limits
The record notes an important limitation: public demonstrations had been limited, and voice or multiuser testing had not yet been reported. Product dates, capacity claims and future handover goals remained company expectations in 2006.
Why the distinction matters
The account is notable for separating ambitious capacity statements from demonstrated operation. Because the technology was proprietary and early testing was limited, the claims should remain explicitly tied to the company’s 2006 plans rather than treated as established performance. The source supplies no independent confirmation of the proposed commercial rollout.
