MARINA DEL REY, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 24, 2006 -- 5G Wireless Communications Inc. (OTCBB : FGWI ), a leader in the wireless broadband industry, today announced the
successful deployment of ResponSphere, a campus-level
experimental IT infrastructure at the University of California, Irvine
(UCI) created to test the boundaries of communications technologies in the
face of man-made or natural disasters. 5G Wireless is providing the
802.11b/g wireless infrastructure to the project, which includes partners
from academia, government, and the private sector.
UCI researchers developed the multidisciplinary ResponSphere to serve as a test bed
for researching the ways that communications technologies can improve the
productivity, reliability and integrity of first responders in a variety of
crisis situations. 5G Wireless is one of several private sector partners.
Other participants include AMD (NYSE : AMD ), Boeing, Canon (NYSE : CAJ ),
Microsoft and IBM (NYSE : IBM ).
"We were thrilled to be included in this extremely important initiative
when we first engaged in the ReponSphere project and we're even more
pleased with the results -- we've gotten great feedback from UCI on our
equipment's fidelity and we are proud to be part of a project that we
believe will produce incredibly helpful research that will ultimately help
to save lives in an emergency," says Jerry Dix, CEO.
"ResponSphere provides a platform where we and our many industry partners
can test new software and hardware technologies," says Christopher Davison,
ResponSphere Technology Manager.
"We created Responsphere as an IT infrastructure for the unexpected. It
serves as an open systems proving grounds for testing and verification of
disruptive technologies."
