SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- xG
Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a
leading provider of wireless video solutions to broadcast, law
enforcement and defense markets, and private mobile broadband
networks for critical communications, announced that it has been
awarded a subcontract from Leidos to provide interference
mitigation solutions and simulation models under a Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) shared spectrum research
program.
The award leverages xG Technology's innovations in software
defined cognitive radio (SDCR) platforms, and expertise in
developing architectures that better enable spectrum sharing and
significantly enhance interference mitigation.
The program seeks to develop spectrum sharing technologies that
enable access and mitigate the impact of spectrum congestion. This
congestion is a growing problem and limits operational capabilities
due to the increasing bandwidth demands for wireless
communications, the use of net-centric and unmanned systems, and
the need for increased flexibility in communications.
"xG's contributions to this program in the area of interference
mitigation reflect xG's growing capabilities in supporting
government programs in this area," said John Coleman, President of xG's Federal Business
Unit. "Our support of this program reflects our leading position in
interference mitigation, spectrum sharing technologies, and high
reliability communications systems and associated research."
