xG Technology Announces Agreement to Integrate xMax Private Mobile Broadband Technology with DirectView Body-Worn Cameras

SARASOTA, Fla., April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, today announced an agreement with DirectView Holdings, Inc. ("DirectView") (OTC: DIRV), to integrate its xMax private mobile broadband technology with DirectView's recently-announced body-worn camera scheduled for commercial launch early in the third quarter of 2015. The planned integration will consolidate the private, secure, high-performance communications capabilities of xMax with the advanced features and functionality of DirectView's body-worn camera.

With a number of recent high-profile law enforcement incidents bringing national attention to the need for the use of body-worn cameras by public safety and police officers, both companies see a rapidly increasing market for real-time video access to personnel in security related operations. The integrated product offering by the two companies will provide a wide array of cutting-edge features, including high-capacity streaming video and imbedded fingerprint access. The initial target markets will include law enforcement, military, government, education and real estate security.

Roger Ralston, CEO and Board Chairman of DirectView, said, "We are excited to partner with xG and its xMax technology because of their unique ability to serve as a private, secure, always-available communications system for our cutting-edge body cameras. The native IP design of xMax allows seamless integration with our hardware, and their support for secure, high-reliability streaming video transmissions allows us to offer a comprehensive, market-leading solution to law enforcement, and eventually, other sectors. We also look forward to leveraging xG's experience and contacts in the public safety and military markets, where the use of body-worn cameras has become mission-essential."

As law enforcement agencies nationwide continue to adopt new technologies to improve overall performance, there are a number of pilot projects taking place across the country evaluating the potential of body-worn cameras to improve officer safety, transparency, and accountability while engaged in policing activities.  In addition, President Obama has recently proposed federal spending of $75 million (as part a broader community policing initiative) to help pay for 50,000 body-worn law enforcement cameras. By combining cutting-edge video and sophisticated broadband technologies, the two companies intend to offer a unique turnkey solution to this rapidly growing market.

George Schmitt, CEO and Board Chairman of xG Technology, said, "We are pleased to announce this agreement with DirectView. This is a testament to the ability of our all-IP private mobile broadband technology to be integrated with a variety of applications serving a broad array of markets. The pairing of DirectView's feature-rich camera hardware with our communications capabilities that have been designed from the ground up to serve the demanding needs of the emergency management and first responder community is an exciting opportunity. It represents a compelling, next-generation solution that will be of substantial interest to law enforcement, military and other markets."
